Alfred Hitchcock / Peter Ackroyd. by Ackroyd, Peter, 1949- Thorpe, 2016. Call #: LP 791.43023 H674a Subjects Hitchcock, Alfred, 1899-1980.   Hitchcock, Alfred, 1899-1980 -- Criticism and interpretation.   Motion picture producers and directors -- Great Britain -- Biography. ISBN:  9781444828467 (hc.) Edition:  Large print edition. Description:  348 p. (large print), [8] p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  Fat, lonely, burning with fear and ambition, Alfred Hitchcock was isolated as a child. Afraid to leave his bedroom, he would plan great voyages, using railway timetables to plot an exact imaginary route across Europe. So how did he become one of the most respected film directors of the twentieth century? As an adult, Hitch rigorously controlled his public image, drawing certain carefully selected childhood anecdotes into full focus and blurring all others out. Grace Kelly, Cary Grant and James Stewart despaired of his detached directing style and, perhaps most famously of all, Tippi Hedren endured cuts and bruises from a real-life flock of birds on set. Yet underneath, Hitch was a lugubriously jolly man fond of practical jokes, who smashed a once-used tea cup every morning to remind himself of the frailty of life... Genre:  Biographies.
