Several decades after his last motion picture was produced, Alfred
Hitchcock is still regarded by critics and fans alike as one of the
masters of cinema. From silents of the 1920s to his final feature
in 1976, the director's many films continue to entertain audiences
and inspire filmmakers. In The Alfred Hitchcock Encyclopedia, film
critic Stephen Whitty provides a detailed overview of the
director's work. This reference volume features in-depth critical
entries on each of his major films as well as biographical essays
on his most frequent collaborators and discussions of significant
themes in his work. For this book, Whitty draws on primary-source
materials such as interviews he conducted with associates of the
director-including screenwriter Jay Presson Allen (Marnie),
actresses Eva Marie Saint (North by Northwest) and Kim Novak
(Vertigo), actor Farley Granger (Strangers on a Train), actor and
producer Norman Lloyd (Saboteur), and Hitchcock's daughter Patricia
(Stage Fright; Psycho)-among others. Encompassing the entire range
of the director's career-from early influences and silent films to
his decade-long television show and cameos in nearly every
feature-this is a comprehensive overview of cinema's ultimate
showman. A detailed and lively look at the master of suspense, The
Alfred Hitchcock Encyclopedia will be of interest to professors,
students, and the many fans of the director's work.
