Hitchcocks British Films

Originally Published In 1977 And Long Out Of Print, Maurice Yacowarrsquo;s Hitchcockrsquo;s British Films Was The First Volume Devoted Solely To The Twenty-three Films Directed By Alfred Hitchcock In His Native England Before He Came To The United States. As Such, It Was The First Book To Challenge The Assumption That Hitchcockrsquo;s Maturequot; Period In Hollywood, From The Late 1940s To The Early 1960s, Represented The Directorrsquo;s Best Work. In This Traditional Auteurist Examination Of Hitchcockrsquo;s Early Work, Author Maurice Yacowar Considers Hitchcockrsquo;s British Films In Chronological Order, Reads The Composition Of Individual Shots And Scenes In Each, And Pays Special Attention To The Filmsrsquo; Verbal Effects.
