Alfred Hitchcock Freshly Showered

Humorist and Hitchcock fan Dr. William Russo puts together this collection of funny and poignant essays about the films of Alfred Hitchcock, based on his long-time popular course at Curry College. Collected from years of observation, Russo has singled out a number of culprits in films like Foreign Correspondent, Strangers on a Train, and Vertigo. Not every Hitchcock film is discussed, but readers will better understand the Master of Suspense after reading this book. With wit and literary allusion, Russo examines personalities and issues directly into the legendary work of Alfred Hitchcock. When crime and mayhem in America become the focal point of Russo’s barbs, the obsession with Hitchcock and murder begins to resemble Norse and Viking war tales told around a campfire.
