Hitchcock, Second Edition

The Murderous Gaze

By: William Rothman

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

First published in 1982, William Rothman's Hitchcock is a classic work of film criticism. Written in an engaging style that is philosophically sophisticated yet free of jargon, and using over nine hundred images from the films to illustrate and back up its critical claims, the book follows six different Hitchcock films as they unfold, moment by moment, from first shot to last. In addition to a thoughtful new preface and the original readings of The Lodger (1927), Murder! (1930), The 39 Steps (1935), Shadow of a Doubt (1943), and Psycho (1960), this expanded edition includes a groundbreaking new chapter—now the book's longest—on Marnie (1964), Hitchcock's most heartfelt yet most controversial film. Hitchcock never tired of quoting Oscar Wilde's line, "And all men kill the thing they love." Dark moods therefore prevail in the five original chapters, culminating in the reading of Psycho, but in demonstrating how Marnie overcomes, or transcends, the murderous aspect of Hitchcock's art, this new chapter balances the scales and gives an important new dimension to the book. With exemplary precision, Hitchcock, Second Edition shows how Hitchcock films express, cinematically, serious thoughts about such matters as the nature and relationships of love, murder, sexuality, marriage, and theater—and about their own medium. In so doing, it keeps faith with the idea that Hitchcock was a master, perhaps the master, of what he called the "art of pure cinema." However, insofar as it investigates philosophically the conditions of authorship in the medium of film, it is an auteurist study unlike any other. By attending to the films themselves and to the ways we experience them, rather than allowing some theory to dictate what to say about them, the book proves the fruitfulness of an approach that is open and responsive to the ways serious films are capable of teaching us how to think seriously about them.

Sasquatch

By: William Salyers

Abducted as baby at tender age of age of 6 months by a supposedly mythical Sasquatch Big Foot. Raised in a secluded topsy turvy world consisting of both dinosaurs and mammals, where fighting for your life against vicious raptors and sabre-tooth felines is almost a daily occurrence. Ab may be the smallest and ugliest Sasquatch in the clan, but blessed with a human mind, he is by far the smartest, bravest and most dangerous member of the clan. Shunned for his physical deformities and often barred from many clan rights, Ab becomes a loner whose life is dedicated to protecting the less intelligent members of his clan in hopes of someday gaining full acceptance within the clan. That is until his Sasquatch mother reveals to him with her dying breath he is not clan. He comes from the far off and forbidden land of the Hairless Others. That is why he looks so different from the rest of the clan. She stole him from his true mother when he was an infant just before she died. She tells him his world is through the forbidden crack in the rock and tells him he should go home. Go back to the world he came from. Shocked and confused over this knowledge and devastated over the loss of the only mother he has ever known, Ab finds this forbidden entrance between their two worlds. A dark tunnel through a massive mountain filled with numerous deadly hazards. Stark naked, Ab emerges into the world he was born too, only now as a muscular cross between a caveman and total wild man. A marvel to modern man he is the focal point of numerous scientific and research teams who want to study him. DNA tests along with finger and foot printing reveals his true identity. The son of billionaire parents who own a powerful electronics manufacturing business and who had been accused of and believed to have killed their son as an infant even though they remained steadfast in their story a Sasquatch had stolen him. Sought after and hunted by professional big game hunters for the pure blood sport, it is modern man against prehistoric man in a battle of wits and determination. Especially after Ab unwittingly leads the big game hunters back to his forbidden and lost world with their high powered weapons and modern technology. Now everything he ever knew and understood faced destruction at the hands of these ruthless killers. To insure Ab helps them in their quest to satisfy their lust to kill, they took his true parents hostage to use as bait to draw Ab and the long lost and believed extinct raptors and saber-toothed cats as well as the Sasquatch into their cross hairs for true extinction.

America in the Cold War

A Reference Guide

By: William T. Walker

Including extensive, balanced information, keen insights, and helpful research tools, this book provides a valuable resource for students or general readers interested in American policy, diplomacy, and conduct during the Cold War. The Cold War not only comprised the dominant theme in American foreign policy during the second half of the 20th century; its influence was also imbedded into American culture. The half-century duration of the Cold War was an extended learning period during which the United States found that it could no longer remain an isolationist nation in a complex, quickly evolving, and dangerous world. This book covers the entire scope of the Cold War, from its background and origins before and after World War II to the collapse of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991, providing coverage of key events and concepts, such as the containment policy, McCarthyism, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, détente, and nuclear arms policies. The single-volume work also provides an annotated bibliography, primary documents, and biographies of key personalities during the Cold War, such as John Foster Dulles, J. Edgar Hoover, George F. Kennan, Henry Kissinger, Edward R. Murrow, and Ronald Reagan.
