Hitchcock and Twentiethcentury Cinema

An in-depth study of the most famous director in cinema history, looking at his work, influences, legacy and style and examining how he was affected by German Expressionist cinema, British writing, Hollywood's Hays Code of self-censorship and his own upbringing to produce films that often challenged notions of star personas and performances, and that influenced the French New Wave directors as well as later genres.
