A Century of Hitchcock

A Century of Hitchcock: The Man, The Myths, The Legacy is a thoughtful and deeply researched reexamination of one of cinema’s most influential filmmakers.

Alfred Hitchcock emerges here not only as the legendary “Master of Suspense,” but also as a complex figure whose legacy continues to spark debate. Drawing on archival discoveries, interviews, and fresh analysis, Tony Lee Moral challenges long-accepted narratives surrounding Hitchcock’s personal and professional life while celebrating the innovation and artistry behind classics like Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), and Psycho (1960). Engaging, balanced, and provocative, the book offers readers a nuanced perspective on Hitchcock’s enduring impact in both film history and modern cultural conversations.

This book is recommended to classic film enthusiasts and Hitchcock scholars.
