That has not, however, discouraged scholars and critics from trying to work out what his films imply about such moral matters as honesty, fidelity, jealousy, courage, love, and loyalty. Through discussions and analyses of such films as \u003ci\u003eStrangers on a Train\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRear Window\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eVertigo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNorth by Northwest\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFrenzy\u003c\/i\u003e, the contributors to this book strive to throw light on the way Hitchcock depicts a moral-if not amoral or immoral-world. Drawing on perspectives from film studies, philosophy, literature, and other disciplines, they offer new and compelling interpretations of the filmmaker's moral gaze and the inflection point it provides for modern cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e R.
