For anyone interested in Alfred Hitchcock this is a must for the
collection and will invite a new look at those rarer and the lesser
known of his films...""- Chris Hick, Filmwerk;
""Hitchcock's British Films remains the most illuminating and
comprehensive discussion of Hitchcock's work before he moved to
California. It is lucid, well balanced in its understandings of the
films, informative (especially regarding Hitchcock's use of the
novels and plays that were sources of most of his screenplays), and
comprehensive.""- Lesley Brill, professor of English at Wayne State
University and author of The Hitchcock Romance: Love and Irony in
Hitchcock's Films and Crowds, Power, and Transformation in Cinema
(Wayne State University Press, 2006);
""How welcome to see Hitchcock's British Films back in print. For a
long time it was the only full-length treatment of Hitchcock's
formative period, and Yacowar's analyses of specific films remain
so well judged, articulate, and penetrating that his book has
scarcely dated since the day it was published over thirty years
ago.""- Thomas Leitch, professor of English at the University of
Delaware, co-editor of the forthcoming A Companion to Hitchcock
Studies, and author of Perry Mason (Wayne State University Press,
2005)
