 | Dark Side of Genius by Donald Spoto, Jeff Riggenbach
In this celebration of the life and the work of Alfred Hitchcock, Donald Spoto, who first met Hitchcock in 1975 on the set of FAMILY PLOT, analyzes consistent themes of the director's films in order to identify and explain Hitchcock's obsessions with murder, food, and idealized love. Despite a lack of written primary sources--as Spoto notes, Hitchcock did not leave any personal letters, journals, or diaries--this book was compiled through Spoto's personal archives and interviews with artists, writers, and actors who worked with Hitchcock.
