- Summary:
- "Focusing on onscreen objects in Hitchcock's films, this study examines the staircases, eyeglasses, lamps, doors, candles, cigarettes, buildings, monuments, statues and other props the director treated as subjective protagonists, with roles nearly equal to the actors' parts. Examining each of the director's 52 extant films, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of Hitchcock's treatment of objects as subjects"-- Provided by publisher.
