Book excerpt: “It seems there is still plenty to discover and to say about Alfred Hitchcock . . . a host of impressive new research.” —Journal of Film Preservation Audiences worldwide know him for Psycho, The Birds, Vertigo, and other classics—but in Hitchcock Lost and Found, fans and film students alike can explore forgotten, incomplete, lost, and recovered productions from all stages of Alfred Hitchcock’s career, including his early years in Britain. Alain Kerzoncuf and Charles Barr highlight Hitchcock’s neglected works, including various films and television productions that supplement the critical attention already conferred on his feature films. They also explore the director’s career during World War II, when he continued making high-profile features while also committing himself to a number of short war-effort projects on both sides of the Atlantic. Focusing on a range of forgotten but fascinating projects spanning five decades, Hitchcock Lost and Found offers a new, fuller perspective on the incomparable filmmaker’s career and achievements. “For the Hitchcock completist, Hitchcock Lost and Found is an essential resource.” —Philadelphia Inquirer Includes photos and illustrations
