“Janet, who was a terrific sport and a wonderful professional throughout, was never nude."
If , like me you have had the pleasure of watching the recent
movie, Hitchcock, with the always
divine Helen Mirren, you might also wish to explore the source material.
Exploring the background, behind the movie, makes for an easy and enjoyable
read.
Some of the meatier moments deal with the struggles with
censorship, the difficulties of filming the infamous shower scene and the
foibles of one of the most memorable and effective movie marketing campaigns
ever.
As always, Hitch is the real story. In particular, his love/
hate relationships with his work colleagues. Something memorably portrayed in
the film adaptation of this novel by the current Mrs Timberlake , Jessica Biel,
in her portrayal of the put upon Vera Miles.
Rebello knows how to craft an engaging non-fiction work with
the requisite finesse required to discuss the work of this master of suspense.
4 out of 5 times the
colour of a girl’s bra tells a visual tale.
