Hitchcock Piece by Piece

By Laurent Bouzereau

Foreword by Patricia Hitchcock O'Connell

In a career that spanned sixty years, Alfred Hitchcock made more than fifty feature-length films and hosted his own television series, transforming the thriller genre in the twentieth century. Author Laurent Bouzereau puts this incredible canon into perspective, examining the master’s life thematically: his archetypal anti-heroes; his complicated female characters; his charming villains; and something Bouzereau calls “the Hitchcock touch”—those elements of film that are, quite simply, Hitchcockian.

With a foreword by Hitchcock’s daughter, Patricia Hitchcock O’Connell, Hitchcock Piece by Piece is packed with photographs from the family’s archive, many of which have never been published before, plus removable facsimile memorabilia such as letters, memos, and snapshots, which frame the story of the director’s life and work.

The first authorized illustrated book, published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the release of Psycho
