Summary:

These are the themes that inspired Alfred Hitchcock to become one of the greatest film-makers in the history of cinema.

Hitchcock was born a hundred years ago. His life began when movie-making began; his career spanned cinematography from the silents to Hollywood star vehicles. He made over fifty motion pictures, lent his name to a groundbreaking television series and left a legacy that lives on almost twenty years after his death. His techniques, his innovations and his drive to challenge taboos have opened up the way films are both made and studied.

From his early British features, including The Lodger and The 39 Steps, through to Hollywood classics like Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest and Psycho, The Complete Hitchcock is the essential modern insight into understanding the greatest thriller-maker of them all.
