MR HITCHCOCKWhat would you say was Alfred Hitchcock's greatest success? That he was one of the first greats in silent film? That he was so successful for so long, right up until the 70s? That he was one of the most recognisable directors in the world, thanks to his deceptively jolly appearance, not to mention his amusing cameos in all of his own films? Whatever the answer, it is unquestionable that he travelled a long way from a slow start as the son of a East London greengrocer.Now celebrated film journalist Quentin Falk, author of popular biographies on the actors Anthony Hopkins, Albert Finney and Graham Greene, has taken a stab as solving the mysteries of a complex man in a director's chair, providing more than enough insights and juicy tidbits to make the books 200 pages - and extensive illustration - fly by. Mr Hitchcock is published on 28 June 2007 by Haus Publishing, London. Hardback price £20. Filed June 23, 2007. |  |
