Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Themes of voyeurism, mystery and suspense are what made Alfred Hitchcock such a successful filmmaker in his career that spanned more than 50 years. His dry wit, clever writing and cameo appearances in many of his films also made him a popular personality worldwide. Many of his films are still considered classics and Hitchcock has been a role model to contemporary directors like M. Night Shyamalan.

This book looks at the themes and genres of Alfred Hitchcock's best work, the Hollywood stars he liked to cast and his iconic films.
