Mention famous film directors and the name of Alfred Hitchcock is
bound to come up. Not only were Hitchcock's films innovative and
unique, they were also entertaining, captivating critics and
audiences alike. He had a gift for turning the familiar into the
unfamiliar, the mundane into the unexpected. With a penchant for
planning the entire movie before the first day of filming began - a
story board approach he shared with only one other director, Walt
Disney - he was renowned for his relaxed directing style which
resulted in an excellent report with his actors. Even today,
decades later, Hitchcock's films stand as sterling examples of
innovative technique, literally overflowing with meaning which only
repeated viewing can reveal. Encompassing the scope of Alfred
Hitchcock's fifty-three film career, this volume contains a
comprehensive analysis of the director's greatest films, including
behind-the-scene insights into the film and television industry. It
examines Hitchcock's effective use of lighting and expert
manipulation of the camera as a vehicle of cinematic expression.
Movies such as ""The Birds"", ""Shadow of a Doubt"", ""Psycho"",
and ""Rear Window"" are evaluated from a psychiatric point of view,
emphasizing the ways in which Hitchcock pulled his audience into
his films, often inviting them to fill in the blanks. Interviews
with those who knew Hitchcock personally and quotes from the master
filmmaker himself demonstrate the ways in which the director was
often just as intriguing as his films.
