Title: A Fascinating Look into the Life and Art of a Great Director
Review: We've all stepped into a shower, at some point, and thought about that swirling drain, that translucent shower curtain and that haunted look of death reflected in Janet Leigh's eye in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho?" Stephen Rebello's book gives us insight into the making of this film treasure, as well as a glimpse into the personality of its creator. The precision and ingenuity with which Hitchcock hurdled the numerous obstacles that confronted the creation of the film is one of the things that makes this book such a fascinating read. Hitchcock was as adept at marketing and getting around the censors as he was at knowing how to scare the living daylights out of an audience. This book is a must read for any film buff and any Hitchcock fan. (Look for Gus Van Sant's word for word adaptation of this book in new typesetting.)
