More About This Title Simply Hitchcock

  • English

English

Rightly called “the master of suspense,” Alfred Hitchcock created some of the most frightening, yet entertaining, films in the history of cinema. They were also profound personal expressions of his philosophy of life, which he saw as a contest between reality and illusion, order and chaos. In Simply Hitchcock, author David Sterritt traces the legendary director’s remarkable career, exploring how his life and work continually nourished one another, and illuminating his unparalleled ability to create films that were enormously popular and deeply disturbing at the same time.
