    Item arrived well packaged as the seller assured it would be. Thank you very much for that!! To all the other sellers out there…..bubble wrap goes a long way just saying. I have had several packages arrive damaged due to poor packaging knowing that today’s carriers don’t care what’s in the bag or box. Seller responded quickly when I had initially reached out to them about assuring it would be well packaged and protected. Item arrived in the new condition it was listed as. Thank you.

  • A book report...

    For even movie goers who have a passing interest in Hitchcock, this book is great coverage of his long and everlasting career. There is nobody like Hitchcock and this is a rare glimpse inside the genius mind as only Truffaut would tap.

  • Awesome book for film fans and students

    If you are a film fan, you love movies, or you are studying films, this book is a must. Very thorough and long interview between Truffaut and Hitchcock. This book is not a guide on how to make a film, but it's more a historic set of anecdotes of Hitchcock's career.

  • Hitchcock speaks

    This book, long out of print, is a wonderful insight into Hitchcock view of filmmaking….with another brilliant, albeit less prolific director….the book is slightly worn, but well worth a small investment for cinephiles….
