HITCHOLOGY
★★★★★ So much has already been written about Alfred Hitchcock’s oeuvre – so why do we need, as author Neil Alcock asks himself, another book on the subject? Focused on making the Master of Suspense’s work accessible to the masses, Alcock explores recurring themes, signature cameos and everything in between. Starting with the Essential 10 – those considered Hitch’s most important – the book proceeds to cheerily dissect all 52 films. Conversational in tone yet brimming with knowledge, it’s a quality read for both fans and neophytes.
