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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

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….Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
