Description
Drawing on new archival research, previously unpublished interviews, and examination of key biographies, A Century of Hitchcock challenges the long-standing narratives surrounding Hitchcock’s legacy. Moral revisits controversial abuse allegations, scrutinises biographer Donald Spoto’s interpretations, and reveals how a 1980 interview between Spoto and Tippi Hedren contradicts decades of exaggeration.
In this comprehensive reappraisal of Hitchcock’s career, Moral encourages readers to explore the complexities of creative collaboration and the risks of relying on a single biographical narrative. Marking one hundred years since Hitchcock’s first film, The Pleasure Garden, and fifty years since his last film, Family Plot, Moral re-examines the director’s cinematic brilliance, storytelling mastery, creative partnerships, and controversies, offering a fresh perspective on Hitchcock’s legacy in the post-#MeToo era.
