Honoring Hitch
The book aims to honor the master of suspense without a lot of heavy-handed introspection that some Hitchcock biographies layer on. Often Hitchcock books try to delve so deeply into the psyche of the director that the miss the fun and joy of his filmmaking. His later years show him using all the tricks he learned but plagued by the difficulty of competing against himself and all his successes.

Master of the Macabre
The impetus for author John William Law's book about Alfred Hitchcock is the 50th anniversary of the release of the movie //Psycho//.Right up front, in the introduction, Law advises the reader that his book is not meant to be yet another biography of Alfred Hitchcock--widely acknowledged as one of the motion picture industry's most talented directors.Rather, it is a careful examination of the circumstances and events that took place during the time when Hitchcock ascended to the status of an icon.This status was guaranteed by a full spectrum of creative endeavors encompassing movies filmed in Great Britain and the United States, the wildly popular television series //Alfred Hitchcock Presents// and numerous publications featuring Hitchcock's macabre sense of humor wrapped in tales of horror.

The most engaging aspects of this survey are the accounts of projects that Hitchcock failed to complete and the impact on the careers of the actors and actresses who played the unforgettable roles as his victims, such as Janet Leigh in //Psycho// and Tipi Hedren in //The Birds//.Fans of Hitchcock will appreciate the numerous back stories that provide new details about the making of these films.

1963, In Review.
1963 brought us one of the decade's most-anticipated spectacles, and one of Hollywood's biggest flop, 'Cleopatra'. Despite the film being one of Elizabeth Taylor's best performances, the film was so costly, it took many years before the film was able to recoup it's negative cost.
1963 was also the year of the 'Beach Party'. Volume 15 in this series looks over 1963's films with an abundance of pictures and information. It is one of the best resource guides for any film buff. Despite the year (as in compared to 2009), there are bound to be some films that many have never heard of. Again, a must-have for anyone interested in film. ... Read more
