Darkness Visible: Hitchcock's Greatest Film

From The Lodger to Psycho, from Rebecca to Vertigo, Alfred Hitchcock directed many of cinema's enduring masterpieces.

He was a master of suspense, and one of cinema's greatest innovators.

But which was his greatest film?

Every film fan will have their own favourite.

Was it the brooding romance of Rebecca?

The psycho-drama of Vertigo?

The thrilling chases of The Thirty-Nine Steps and North By Northwest?

The claustrophobic tension of Rear Window?

Or the chilling horror of The Birds or Psycho?

In each film, Hitchcock deployed his masterly story-telling and visual skills to create masterpieces that have influenced every film-maker since.

In 'Darkness Visible: Hitchcock's Greatest Film' Brian Hannan ventures deep in the dark mind of the Master, exploring some of his finest works before finally deciding which film was the greatest of them all.

'A treat for any Hitchcock fan. You might not agree with it - but you can't miss it.' - Robert Foster, best-selling author of 'The Lunar Code'.

Brian Hannan writes a regular column for Cinema Retro magazine. He has programmed for film societies and has organised events and festivals. He will shortly be publishing a book on the making of Lawrence Of Arabia. He is also an award-winning journalist and campaigning editor.
