Why are we drawn to the work of Alfred Hitchcock so long after his final film appeared? What is the source of Hitchcocks magic? This book answers these questions by focussing upon the fabric of the films themselves, upon the way in which they enlist and sustain our desire, holding our attention by constantly withholding something from us.
