| Abstract
|
:
|
Murray Pomerance works from a basis in cultural analysis and a detailed knowledge of Alfred Hitchcock's films and production techniques to explore how America of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s is revealed and critically commented upon in Hitchcock's work. The book considers both American culture and the Hitchcock films made in Hollywood about that culture in a broad perspective, encompassing the landscapes, personality portraits, and social analysis to be found in Hitchcock's films
