Reviews

'Falk gives an intelligent appreciation of classic movies such as Vertigo and Psycho without over-analysing them. He also offers us an understanding of how Hitch's complex personality helped shape his movies and his attitudes towards his leading ladies. It's a fine introduction to one of the most important figures in cinema history and it will have you yearning to watch Hitch's films again.' -- Nigel Powlson Derby Evening Telegraph
