Despite his professed disdain for actors, this book argues that Hitchcock's films show a fascination with acting, and also contain many exceptional performances. In this collection, the first on this subject, a group of distinguished film scholars analyse some key performances in Hitchcock's work, covering his career from the British silent era to the last years of the Hollywood studio system. The actors covered range from Ivor Novello to Tippi Hedren, with classic, and less well-known films discussed including Notorious, Stage Fright, Strangers on a Train and The Man Who Knew Too Much. This book reflects the growing academic interest in film performance, and opens new perspectives on the films of Alfred Hitchcock.
