Amazon.com Review

No one knew more about manipulating a movie audience than , the legendary master of suspense. But while many film directors have written books about their ideas and techniques, Hitchcock discussed his personal theories almost exclusively in the short articles he wrote throughout his long life. Here, for the first time, most of these hard-to-find pieces have been collected. Sidney Gottlieb's well-edited volume features Hitchcock's thoughts on actors ("they should be treated like cattle"), effective film editing, the power of the thriller, proper uses of a director's talents, and the keys to any good suspense film: sex and murder. Gottlieb's introduction and running commentary is illuminating and helpful.

From Library Journal

Although Hitchcock worked mainly within the suspense genre he experimented endlessly with the form, and few film directors were as clear-eyed about the strengths and limitations of the medium. Every element in his films was carefully planned, with audience involvement essential to the experience. Not surprisingly, Hitchcock constantly explained himself, and this book collects interviews and essays from both his early British and later Hollywood periods. Rare and important pieces include "Why I Am Afraid of the Dark," "Why Thrillers Thrive," and a whimsical but revealing essay, "Women Are a Nuisance"?Hitch claimed men were better actors. Not nearly as entertaining as Truffaut's extended interview, Hitchcock (S. & S., 1967), this book still deserves a place in any important film collection.?Stephen Rees, Bucks Cty.
