Find the Director and Other Hitchcock Games

by Thomas M. Leitch

Book Overview

Among the pleasures an Alfred Hitchcock film affords its viewers is the chance to spot the director in one of his signature cameo appearances: as part of a crowd in The Lodger, as a card player in Shadow of a Doubt or as the illustration for a newspaper ad in Lifeboat. Such cameos, argues Thomas Leitch are but the most obvious in a whole series of cinematic games devised by Hitchcock to engage, delight, manipulate, and challenge his audiences.
