Among the hundreds of interviews he gave, those in this collection catch him at key moments of transition in his long career-as he moved from silent to sound pictures, from England to America, from thrillers to complex romances, and from director to producer-director. Such films as Psycho, North by Northwest, Spellbound, Vertigo, Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, Notorious, and The Birds made the Hitchcock imprint synonymous with both stylish, sophisticated suspense and mordant black comedy. These conversations dramatize his shifting attitudes on a variety of cinematic matters that engaged and challenged him, including the role of stars in a movie, the importance of story, the use of sound and color, his relationship to the medium of television, and the attractions and perils of realism. His engaging wit and intelligence are on display here, as are his sophistication, serious contemplation, and playful manipulation of the interviewer. Sidney Gottlieb, a professor of English at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, is the editor of Hitchcock on Hitchcock: Selected Writings and Interviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA collection of interviews with the director who has become synonymous with both stylish, sophisticated suspense and mordant black comedy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSidney Gottlieb \u003c\/b\u003eis\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eprofessor of English at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut and editor of \u003ci\u003eHitchcock on Hitchcock: Selected Writings and Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 274\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.84 x 8.98 x 6.02 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 26, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47343745138937,"sku":"9781578065622","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/NHRLTmZZcHlsTmljbi9KMWpyS082Zz09.webp?v=1769724765","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/alfred-hitchcock-interviews-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
