As this program illustrates, Alfred Hitchcock would take even bigger risks and attain greater success in the second half of his career. Film clips, stills, and commentary from Hitchcock, actors, and production specialists help chronicle the making of such classics as The Birds, Rear Window, Vertigo, and Psycho. Footage also looks at Hitchcock’s ambivalence toward the popular TV show that brought him into millions of living rooms. Along with extensive discussions with Hitchcock himself, interviews include Tippy Hedren; Karen Black; Bruce Dern; director Peter Bogdanovich; Evan Hunter, screenwriter of The Birds; and Joe Stefano, screenwriter of Psycho. Materials previously unavailable include outtakes and screen tests. A BBCW Production. (51 minutes)
