2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionHitch Your Antenna to the Stars! is the first cultural and industrial history of early television stardom. Susan Murray argues that television stars were central to the growth and development of American broadcasting. They were used notonly to promote programs and the sale of television sets and advertised consumer goods, but also to established network identities. Through profiles of well-known performers including Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Jackie Gleason, and Lucille Ball, she showshow the television industry gave birth to the idea of TV stars and established a system of star production and management notably different from the Hollywood star system of the studio era.

Hitchcock And the Methods of Suspense

2007 y.
Publisher: McFarland &, Company
Description: Alfred Hitchcock had a gift for turning the familiar into the unfamiliar, the mundane into the unexpected. A director known for planning the entire movie before the first day of filming began by using the storyboard approach, Hitchcock was renowned for his relaxed directing style, resulting in an excellent rapport with his actors. Decades later, Hitchcock`s films stand as sterling examples of innovative technique, infused with meaning that only repeated viewing can reveal. This work examines themes, techniques, and the filmmaking process in 15 of Hitchcock`s best known films: The 39 Steps, Rebecca, Shadow of a Doubt, Spellbound, Notorious, Rope, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds, Frenzy and Family Plot. It explores the auteur`s treatments of psychoanalysis, voyeurism, and collective fears during the Cold War. Also presented are key stories behind several Hitchcock classics, such as the director`s stormy… [detailed...]

James M. Vest
Hitchcock and France : The Forging of an Auteur

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn his bold new study of the career of one of filmmaking`s premier directors, author James M. Vest traces two intertwining strands of history: Alfred Hitchcock`s interest in French culture, and French critics` sometimes complementary, sometimes confrontational interest in him. In the 1950s, Hitchcock was increasingly committed to including French-related elements in his films to enhance suspense and humor. At that same time, young critics in France-including Francois Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer, and Jean-Luc Godard-discovered in Hitchcock`s films the mark of an auteur. They saw in him the creator of a cohesive body of work that bore his unique imprint, and in so doing, they countered the dominant opinion of Hitchcock as a proficient craftsman but ultimately just a maker of implausible melodramas. These interactions, explored fully and in-depth here, led not only to a revolution in film criticism, but also to a reenergizing of French cinema as well as the… [detailed...]

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis study explores the aesthetic of Poe and Hitchcock in terms of a set of common obsessions, techniques, and genres. The structure of the study revolves around Eureka, Poe`s explicit and allegorical treatise on the development of the universe. Each chapter explores the similarities and differences between Poe`s and Hitchcock`s treatment of such issues as doubles, the perverse, voyeurism, and romantic obsession. While Hitchcock`s films consistently mirror plots, imagery, and relationships within Poe`s tales, Perry also shows how Hitchcock`s resistance to the traditional trappings of gothic tales sets his films apart from the works of Poe and gives them a unique touch.

Robert J. Yanal
Hitchcock as Philosopher

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe films of Alfred Hitchcock deal heavily with psychological and philosophical themes, and one needn`t look very far into the canon to find them. In Psycho, for example, the personality metamorphosis in Marion Crane that leads her into grand larceny is a pale double of the murderous oedipal divide in Norman Bates. In The Birds, overbearing natural mutations turn what might have been a `creature feature` into a film about fear of the unknowable. This book looks at 12 Hitchcock films and the positions they put forth on three problem areas of epistemology: deception, knowledge of mind, and problematic knowledge of the external world. These philosophical concepts are explained and woven into the author`s thorough and thought-provoking discussion of each film. Descartes and Wittengenstein star, Plato, Locke, Hume, Kant and Kierkegaard also make appearances in this new `philosopher`s cut` of the master`s works. [detailed...]

Hitchcock with a Chinese Face: Cinematic Doubles, Oedipal Triangles, and China?s Moral Voice

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIncludes a DVD with scenes from Suzhou River, The Day the Sun Turned Cold, and Good Men, Good Women As China and the West grow closer together year by year, Chinese cinema becomes increasingly Westernized and Western interest in Chinese cinema continues to grow. Hitchcock with a Chinese Face examines three recent award-winning films--one from Shanghai, one from Hong Kong, one from Taipei--concerned with the issues of developing globalization and the defense of local identity and culture. Superficially different, these films surprise Western audiences with their sophisticated cinematic skills and the depth of their engagement with Dostoevsky and Freud, Faulkner and Hitchcock. They employ double-characters, multiple identities, and radically nonlinear narrative structures and pay homage to film noir, individualizing psychodynamics never before seen in Chinese cinema and increasing tension between traditional Chinese and modern Western moral values.

Jack Sullivan
Hitchcock`s Music

2008 y.
Publisher: Yale University Press
Description: For half a century Alfred Hitchcock created films full of gripping and memorable music. Over his long career he presided over more musical styles than any director in history and ultimately changed how we think about film music. This book is the first to fully explore the essential role music played in the movies of Alfred Hitchcock. Based on extensive interviews with composers, writers, and actors, and research in rare archives, Jack Sullivan discusses how Hitchcock used music to influence the atmosphere, characterization, and even storylines of his films. Sullivan examines the director’s important relationships with various composers, especially Bernard Herrmann, and tells the stories behind the musical decisions. Covering the whole of the director’s career, from the early British works up to Family Plot, this engaging look at the work of Alfred Hitchcock offers new insight into his achievement and genius and changes the way we watch—and listen—to his movies.

Richard Allen
Hitchcock`s Romantic Irony

2007 y.
Publisher: Columbia University Press
Description: Is Hitchcock a superficial, though brilliant, entertainer or a moralist? Do his films celebrate the ideal of romantic love or subvert it? In a new interpretation of the director`s work, Richard Allen argues that Hitchcock orchestrates the narrative and stylistic idioms of popular cinema to at once celebrate and subvert the ideal of romance and to forge a distinctive world view - the amoral outlook of the romantic ironist or aesthete. He describes in detail how Hitchcock`s characteristic tone is achieved through a titillating combination of suspense and black humor that subverts the moral framework of the romantic thriller, and a meticulous approach to visual style that articulates the lure of human perversity even as the ideal of romance is being deliriously affirmed. Discussing more than thirty films from the director`s English and American periods, Allen explores the filmmaker`s adoption of the idioms of late romanticism, his orchestration of narrative point of view and suspense,… [detailed...]
