  This biography assesses Hitchcock's American career, from his arrival in Hollywood in 1939 right up to his last film in the 1970s. These years cover Hitchcock's most accomplished period of film-making when he thoroughly established his reputation as a master of suspense . As well as providing a detailed examination of the films themselves, this book takes a close look at the director's working methods - his relations with producers and production companies, favoured stars, writers and other collaborators - and highlights Hitchcock's involvement in virtually every aspect of each production, from the script and design to editing and scoring. The book is illustrated with production shots and film stills.
