Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mystery has been described as "a
kind of Rear Window for retirees." As this quote suggests, an
analysis of Alfred Hitchcock's methodical use of comedy in his
films is past due. One of Turner Classic Movies' on-screen scholars
for their summer 2017 online Hitchcock class, the author grew tired
of misleading throwaway references to the director's "comic
relief". This book examines what should be obvious: Hitchcock
systematically incorporated assorted types of comedy-black humor,
parody, farce/screwball comedy and romantic comedy-in his films to
entertain his audience with "comic" thrillers.
