Book description
IT'S ONLY A MOVIE is as close to an autobiography by Alfred Hitchcock
that you could ever have. Drawn from years of interviews with her
subject, his friends and the actors who worked with him on such classics
as THE BIRDS, PSYCHO and REAR VIEW WINDOW, Charlotte Chandler has
created a rich, complex, affectionate and honest picture of the man and
his milieu. This is Hitchcock in his own voice and through the eyes of
those who knew him better than anyone could.
"It's Only a Movie
is not only a book, but a vivid experience, a real page-turner. Through
Charlotte Chandler's books, we've come to know Groucho Marx, Federico
Fellini, and Billy Wilder -- and now we know Alfred Hitchcock."
-- Sidney Sheldon
