Hitchcock's Magic (Paperback)

Decades after Alfred Hitchcock's death, his work continues to draw passionate responses and critical acclaim. With "Hitchcock's Magic," Neil Badmington takes a new look at Hitchcock's body of work to try to figure out just what it is that makes them so lasting--and why their influence has been so pervasive. Featuring detailed analyses of a number of Hitchcock's most successful films, including "Psycho," " Rear Window," and "The Birds," and drawing on the insights of poststructuralist theory, "Hitchcock's Magic "is an innovative contribution to the never-ending discussion of the master of suspense.
