Title: The A-Z of Hitchcock
Description: "The A-Z of Hitchcock is a totally new book destined to become a well-thumbed reference for every fan of the great Master. A user-friendly A-Z format provides all the detail and analysis you need, with an entry for every Hitchcock film, TV programme, actor, actress, cinematographer, film editor, costume designer, producer and composer, from Jean Acker (who had a bit part in Spellbound) and costume designer Edith Head (who dressed Grace Kelly) to film producer David O. Selznick and William Ziegler (who edited Strangers on a Train), plus all the ice-cool blondes in between." "Written by Howard Maxford, the entries include: cast and credit listing, synopsis and a detailed critique of each film, as well as notes on each trademark cameo appearance by the director; all of Hitchcock's television work; unrealized and unfinished projects; Hitchcock homages (by other directors) and remakes; biographical entries on all the actors Hitchcock worked with from stars like Cary Grant, Grace Kelly and James Stewart to supporting actors such as Leo G. Carroll, each entry details the individual's full contribution to the world of Hitchcock as well as their relationship with the director; and biographical entries for the key cinemotographers, composers, screenwriters, and special effects people, with an assessment of their contribution to the Hitchcock style."--Jacket.
