Alfred Hitchcock Encyclopedia:
by Stephen Whitty (Author)
Several decades after his last picture was produced, Hitchcock is still regarded by critics and fans alike as one of the masters of cinema.
In The Alfred Hitchcock Encyclopedia, film critic Stephen Whitty provides a detailed overview of the director’s work.
Whitty draws on primary-source materials such as interviews he conducted with associates—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.
