Great Documentary, 16 September 1999
Author: Brian Blueskye (brianblu23@aol.com) from Mentor, OH

This is a great look into the man known as Hitchcock. There are alot of interviews with alot of the stars who worked with Hitchcock telling all about him, and the movies they were in. There are some appearences by alot of the directors of today saying what they admired of Hitchcock.

Hitchcock is the master of suspense, and this is a look into how he worked, who he worked with, where he got some of the ideas for his movies, and a great documentary you shouldn't miss.

You also see how "Psycho" shocked some people in a way where they had nightmares for years.

A must see, a most definite must see.
