{"product_id":"hitchcock-and-adaptation-mark-osteen-9781442230873","title":"Hitchcock and Adaptation: On the Page and Screen","description":"This collection of essays examines the various Hitchcock films that were adapted from other sources (short stories, play, and novels). Some of these essays focus on the director's collaboration with such notable writers as John Steinbeck (Lifeboat), Thornton Wilder (Shadow of a Doubt), and Raymond Chandler (Strangers on a Train), proving not only that Hitchcock knew good writing when he read it, but that he was quite eager to exploit the cultural capital that these writers represented. Other essays discuss to what extent he was faithful (or not) to the source materials, his relationship with screenwriters\/adaptors such as Joseph Stefano (Psycho), and what role his wife, Alma Reville played in the development of several screenplays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Osteen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442230878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442230873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Mark Osteen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962606145791,"sku":"9781442230873","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99fe8f38-d997-40e5-8c43-f04b0b3fb10d.jpg?v=1750651969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hitchcock-and-adaptation-mark-osteen-9781442230873","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
