Reviews

‘As well as the intrinsic interest of the subject-matter, the book is indispensable on account of the quality of the contributors and their contributions. Some of the leading scholars of Hitchcock and Herrmann studies have been assembled for this volume, with the result that the text is not only authoritative but brimming with recent discovery. It is a book at the cutting-edge of current research on film authorship and a re-consideration of the relationship between image and soundtrack.’ Neil Sinyard, Emeritus Professor of Film Studies, University of Hull -- .
