{"product_id":"hitchcock-becomes-hitchcock-paul-jensen-9781887664882","title":"Hitchcock Becomes Hitchcock: The British Years","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlfred Hitchcock's comments in his frequent interviews have encouraged many critics to assume that the director's true career began in 1934 with The Man Who Knew Too Much, the first in a long, almost unbroken string of thrillers. Then, having defined Hitchcock as a specialist, these critics select from his earlier work only those films that anticipate his later career: The Lodger (1927), Blackmail (1929), Murder  (1930), and Number Seventeen (1932). Such a perspective, mired in the confidence of hindsight, results in a highly misleading view of the director, one that dismisses his 12 other early features--eight silent and four sound--and implies that he was merely marking time until his \"true\" creative personality emerged. Hitchcock was, in fact, a major director from the very start of his career in 1925 and for 10 years he made substantial, mature features that reveal an impressive consistency in content and form. This book examines those all important films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Jensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1887664882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781887664882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Midnight Marquee Press, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Paul Jensen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058396950783,"sku":"9781887664882","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49621a88-7bea-4649-8588-44ae455e4b6b.jpg?v=1685052321","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hitchcock-becomes-hitchcock-paul-jensen-9781887664882","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
