Taking a chronological approach to the subject, the author groups Hitchcock's films into five major categories, represented as chapters. Chapter 1, "The English Hitchcock (1925- 1939)" considers his silent films and other early works, some of which show in nascent form the themes and preoccupations of his later work. Among the most notable of these early films are "39 Steps", "The Man Who Knew Too Much", and "Sabotage." Chapter 2, "Hitchcock in Hollywood" considers films of 1940-1950, including such popular thrillers as "Rebecca", "Lifeboat", "Suspicion", "Spellbound", and "Notorious".
Chapter 3, "Celebrity and Artist, 1951-1957" focuses on a period in which Hitchcock's reputation was secured, through such works as "Strangers on a Train," "Dial M for Murder", and "Rear Window." The period of 1958- 1964 is covered in Chapter 4, appropriately called "Masterpieces." The films of this time frame are among Hitchcock's most famous, notably "The Birds", "Psycho", "Vertigo", and "North by Northwest". Chapter 5, "The Final Films (1966- 1976)" considers "Frenzy", "Torn Curtain", "Family Plot", and "Topaz", works not generally regarded as the director's best work. A concluding chapter considers the influence of Hitchcock's films on those of other directors, including the sequel "Psycho II."
This book is an excellent overview of Hitchcock's films -- an indispensable resource and highly enjoyable to read and peruse. It couldn't be better! ( )
