Here is a rare opportunity to eavesdrop on two cinematic masters from very different backgrounds as they cover each of Hitch's films in succession. Though this book was initially published in 1967 when Hitchcock was still active, Truffaut later prepared a revised edition that covered the final stages of his career. It's difficult to think of a more informative or entertaining introduction to Hitchcock's art, interests, and peculiar sense of humor. The book is a storehouse of insight and witticism, including the master's impressions of a classic like <I>Rear Window</I> ("I was feeling very creative at the time, the batteries were well charged"), his technical insight into <I>Psycho</I>'s shower scene ("the knife never touched the body; it was all done in the [editing]"), and his ruminations on flops such as <I>Under Capricorn</I> ("If I were to make another picture in Australia today, I'd have a policeman hop into the pocket of a kangaroo and yell 'Follow that car!'"). This is one of the most delightful film books in print. <I>--Raphael Shargel</I> 383160 book 1967 Hitchcock / Truffaut (Revised Edition) total:436|5:252|4:152|3:30|2:2|1:0| 436 1962 582 56 393601 0671604295 9780671604295 349 45 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174409753m/393601.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/393601.Hitchcock_Truffaut 4 0 false Wed Mar 11 08:40:06 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 08:47:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 53117 0671526014 9780671526016 7 2 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1194278592m/53117.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53117.Hitchcock 4 1 false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2000 Mon Feb 25 21:58:58 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 22:00:45 -0800 2008 393601 0671604295 9780671604295 349 45 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174409753m/393601.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/393601.Hitchcock_Truffaut 5 0 false Thu Aug 06 21:00:20 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 21:02:28 -0700 2009 more...]]> 393601 0671604295 9780671604295 349 45 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174409753m/393601.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/393601.Hitchcock_Truffaut 5 0 false Sun Oct 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 10:22:34 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 05:35:10 -0700 2009
