This biography of Alfred Hitchcock is as intriguing, revealing, perverse, and entertaining as any of his classic films.

'The best book yet about the movies' most famous director' Publisher's Weekly
'No one will ever top Hitch' Jimmy Stewart

One of cinema's greatest directors, a virtuoso visual artist, and a genius of the suspense genre, Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980) is universally known for such masterpieces as 
Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, and The Birds.

But he was also a famously difficult and complex man, prone to arguing with studios and stars alike. In writing this biography, John Russell Taylor, a distinguished film critic and friend of Hitchcock's, enjoyed his full cooperation. Based on numerous interviews, with photos from the private family albums, and an in-depth study of the making of his last film, this biography of the director is as intriguing, revealing, perverse, and entertaining as any Hitchcock classic.
