A good book for anyone who likes to know the nitty-gritty details of making movies. It's not laden with gossip and scandal, but it gives a glimpse into how Hitchcock made his films, as well as the culture of films in the late 50s/early 60s.
Hitchcock comes across as intimidating and all about the attention to detail. It's incredible to read that this film was not seen as a usual Hitchcock piece, and how it was seen as schlocky and nasty.
The photos in the book was great to look at, especially the breakdown of the shower scene and the staircase scene.
Things get a bit too detailed for my liking during some parts of the book, but I enjoyed learning about how they got some of the shots using the tech of the day.
