Hitchcock: Shadow of a Genius (1999)

Directed by Ted Haimes

Overview

This documentary is a fascinating look at the cinematic genius of Alfred Hitchcock. Briefly covering much of his early British works, the film primarily focuses on his American classics, such as “Shadow of a Doubt”, “Notorious”, “Rear Window”, “Vertigo”, “Psycho” and “The Birds”. The movie also covers his television years and neatly examines the Hitchcock signature touches, from his inevitable brief cameo to his famous MacGuffin.
