Hitchcock's Secret Notebooks Paperback – Illustrated, 17 Nov. 1999

by Dan Auiler (Author)

See all formats and editions
Based on authorized access to Hitchcock's files and notes, this work creates a portrait of a master at work: building his screenplays from scratch; working on sets and storyboards during pre-production; filming the movies; and putting it all together and adding music in post-production. The book also shows how Hitchcock put together the storyboards for "Lifeboat" and for the crop duster sequence in "North by Northwest." It details his meeting with Tippi Hedren to discuss her character in "The Birds" and how he attended the screen tests for Rebecca's title role. It also takes the reader behind the scenes on the sets of "Strangers on a Train", "Dial M for Murder", and "Foreign Correspondent", and one can read Hitchcock's notes on the story that would become "Shadow of a Doubt."

Dan is the bestselling author of Vertigo: The Making of a Hitchcock Classic (St. Martin's Press) Hitchcock's Notebooks (HarperCollins) and the recent Hitchcock Lost (Kindle, 2013). He has established himself as one of the leading experts on Hitchcock and film history; his expertise has earned him appearances in several important documentaries. He appears often television and radio programs to discuss Hitchcock, film history and contemporary cinema.

In addition to his continued work as a writer, Dan has also taught for more than twenty years in the Los Angeles area. He rebuilt moribund student newspapers and revived ignored drama programs, taking dormant, underachieving programs turning them into thriving success stories. Many of Dan's students have gone on to professional careers in journalism, theater and film.

Working with the cooperation of the Hitchcock estate, Dan was given unprecedented access to the director's notebooks, journals, and archives. He edited Hitchcock's copious notes from Hitchcock's masterpieces, conducted numerous detailed interviews with Hitchcock's key production staff, writers, lead actors and actresses to create the bestselling Hitchcock's Notebooks (HarperCollins).

    1.0 out of 5 stars The Author is inaccurate and the editlng bad.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 1999
    I was given a copy, sadly not bought fromyourselves ! The index tells me that on page 27 there is reference to my Father (He gave Hitchcock his first real job - 'The Lodger') There is NO such reference. On the said page 27 the Author sugests that this period in Hitchcocks life is 'Badly documented' (sic). At no time did the Author approach me to ask to see the Balcon papers at the BFI which cover the period in question. This is a prime example of the BRITISH Fim Industry being denigrated from across the Atlantic

    Ce livre est essentiel pour les étudiants du cinéma et les chercheurs qui travaillent sur l'art hitchcockien. Plus qu'un livre, c'est un bon guide.
