MR HITCHCOCK

by Quentin Falk

Date: 2007-09-26

‘Beautifully illustrated in black and white throughout, it is a fascinating introduction to this most gifted, and still controversial director.’. QX International, 26 Sept. 2007

'Quentin Falk's Mr Hitchcock is an entirely accessible narrative, generously illustrated with black-and-white publicity shots, stills from the film and some little known anecdotes: how, for example, Carole Lombard engineered a surprise on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith that consisted of three cows with the name tags 'Carole Lombard', 'Robert Montgomery' and 'Gene Raymond' - and unsubtle allusion to the filmmaker's famous remark equating actors with cattle...Falk manages a portrait of his subject that is sympathetic and admirable...'
