Following from
An Eye for Hitchcock and
A Dream for Hitchcock, this third volume of reflections upon Alfred Hitchcock’s work gives extensive meditations on six films:
Psycho,
The 39 Steps,
The Birds,
Dial M for Murder,
Rich and Strange, and
Suspicion. Murray Pomerance’s sources come from a wide territory of interest, including production study, philosophy, cultural history, and more. The book is written as an homage to, and in many ways address to, not only the story content of these films but, more importantly, their overall filmic texture, which involves compositions, visual nuances, sounds, rhythms, and Hitchcock’s unique treatments of human experience. The voyage theme plays a key—and moving—role in all the films discussed here.
