Reviews
Osteen's collection should certainly interest the Hitchcock scholar (and anyone else that enjoys scholarly essays on film). Casual fans will also find a lot of interesting information. . . .A large percentage of the essays focus on Hitchcock's film work, and it is here that the book blossoms into life. The essays offer many factual details to support the scholarly analysis, which makes the sometimes overreaching conclusions more digestible to the average reader. These factual details are what will interest many of the director's fans. . . .If any of this sounds appealing, this book should be worth picking up. * HitchcockMaster *
