Hitchcock's America

By Richard H. Millington and Jonathan Freedman

Book Overview

Alfred Hitchcock has long been understood as an inspired technician and master of abnormal psychology. The authors of this volume suggest, through readings of his American films, that he is also a cultural critic of remarkable insight and undeniable presence. This book looks at Hitchcock's analysis of and engagement with American culture. His films emerge as our richest history of American middle-class culture at mid-century.
