Mr. Hitchcock by Quentin Falk
'I aim to provide the public with beneficial shocks. Civilisation has become so protective that we're no longer able to get our goose bumps instinctively. The best way to achieve that, it seems to me, is a movie' - Alfred Hitchcock.
'Falk gives an intelligent appreciation of classic movies such as Vertigo and Psycho without over-analysing themHe also offers us an understanding of how Hitch's complex personality helped shape his movies and his attitudes towards his leading ladies. It's a fine introduction to one of the most important figures in cinema history and it will have you yearning to watch Hitch's films again.' -- Nigel Powlson Derby Evening Telegraph
