In his bold new study of the career of one of filmmaking's premier directors, author James M. Vest traces two intertwining strands of history: Alfred Hitchcock's interest in French culture, and French critics' sometimes complementary, sometimes confrontational interest in him. In the 1950s, Hitchcock was increasingly committed to including French-related elements in his films to enhance suspense and humor. At that same time, young critics in France-including François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer, and Jean-Luc Godard-discovered in Hitchcock's films the mark of an auteur. They saw in him the creator of a cohesive body of work that bore his unique imprint, and in so doing, they countered the dominant opinion of Hitchcock as a proficient craftsman but ultimately just a maker of implausible melodramas. These interactions, explored fully and in-depth here, led not only to a revolution in film criticism, but also to a reenergizing of French cinema as well as the creation of a reputation that has lasted decades. Here is examined for the first time the cultural and intellectual background of those convergences in the mid-1950s-when the auteur theory was first being developed-as well as Hitchcock's transformation of French source materials in such films as I Confess and Vertigo, his use of French allusions in several films, and his New Wave tendencies in others. Providing access to books, essays, reviews, screenplays, and advertisements not generally available, Hitchcock and France chronicles a crucial period in the history of both filmmaking and film-viewing.

Historians of the Cold War, argues William Hitchcock, have too often overlooked the part that European nations played in shaping the post-World War II international system. In particular, France, a country beset by economic difficulties and political instability in the aftermath of the war, has been given short shrift. With this book, Hitchcock restores France to the narrative of Cold War history and illuminates its central role in the reconstruction of Europe. Drawing on a wide array of evidence from French, American, and British archives, he shows that France constructed a coherent national strategy for domestic and international recovery and pursued that strategy with tenacity and effectiveness in the first postwar decade. This once-occupied nation played a vital part in the occupation and administration of Germany, framed the key institutions of the "new" Europe, helped forge the NATO alliance, and engineered an astonishing economic recovery. In the process, France successfully contested American leadership in Europe and used its position as a key Cold War ally to extract concessions from Washington on a wide range of economic and security issues.

The inimitable, haunting films of Alfred Hitchcock took place in settings, both exterior and interior, that deeply impacted our experiences of his most unforgettable works. From the enclosed spaces of Rope and Rear Window to the wide-open expanses of North by Northwest, the physical worlds inhabited by desperate characters are a crucial element in our perception of the Hitchcockian universe. As Christine Madrid French reveals in this original and indispensable book, Hitchcock’s relation to the built world was informed by an intense engagement with location and architectural form—in an era marked by modernism’s advance—fueled by some of the most creative midcentury designers in film. Hitchcock saw elements of the built world not just as scenic devices but as interactive areas to frame narrative exchanges. In his films, building forms also serve a sentient purpose—to capture and convey feelings, sensations, and moments that generate an emotive response from the viewer. Visualizing the contemporary built landscape allowed the director to illuminate Americans’ everyday experiences as well as their own uncertain relationship with their environment and with each other. French shares several untold stories, such as the real-life suicide outside the Hotel Empire in Vertigo (which foreshadowed uncannily that film’s tragic finale), and takes us to the actual buildings that served as the inspiration for Psycho’s infamous Bates Motel. Her analysis of North by Northwest uncovers the Frank Lloyd Wright underpinnings for Robert Boyle’s design of the modernist house from the film’s celebrated Mount Rushmore sequence and ingeniously establishes the Vandamm House as the prototype of the cinematic trope of the villain’s lair. She also shows how the widespread unemployment of the 1930s resulted in a surge of gifted architects transplanting their careers into the film industry. These practitioners created sets that drew from contemporary design schools of thought and referenced real structures, both modern and historic. The Architecture of Suspense is the first book to document how these great architectural minds found expression in Hitchcock’s films and how the director used their talents and his own unique vision to create an enduring and evocative cinematic world.

Alfred Hitchcock est sans aucun doute le cinéaste le plus connu au monde. Et pourtant, rien ne peut affadir le plaisir renouvelé de voir ou revoir ses films, qui continuent d'exhaler un parfum de mystère que le spectateur n'a de cesse d'approfondir. Mais qui était Alfred Hitchcock ? Un cockney de l'East End londonien brimé par son père ? Un " jeune génie " adoubé par la critique britannique dès la fin des années vingt ? L'" oncle Alfred ", stéréotype de British dans une Amérique qui l'a baptisé le Maître du suspense ? Un cinéaste génial qui a su réinventer Hollywood à l'heure de la télévision et des parcs d'attractions ? Dès ses débuts en Angleterre et dès son premier film, L'Eventreur, en 1926, Hitchcock réalise des films à suspense, reconnaît l'influence de Cecil B. De Mille et admire Fritz Lang. En 1939, il part travailler à Hollywood où il adapte Rebecca de Daphné du Maurier. Il signe ensuite des films antinazis dans une Amérique qui cherche à rester en dehors du conflit qui déchire l'Europe. Puis Hitchcock fait tourner les plus grandes stars, dont les carrières resteront liées aux rôles inoubliables qu'il leur donne : James Stewart dans Sueurs froides, Ingrid Bergman dans Les Enchaînés, Cary Grant dans La Mort aux trousses... Il élabore l'archétype de la femme blonde qui habite désormais sa légende, de Anny Ondra (Chantage) à Tippi Hedren (Les Oiseaux), en passant par Grace Kelly (Fenêtre sur cour) ou Kim Novak (Sueurs froides). Hitchcock a réussi un double pari : être toujours à la pointe des innovations technologiques (Technicolor, Vistavision, 3-D, plans filmés depuis des hélicoptères) qui assurent au cinéma sa dimension spectaculaire et son succès public, et créer dans les années cinquante la première série télévisée à succès : Alfred Hitchcock présente

Before turning to filmmaking, Francois Truffaut was a film critic writing for Cahiers du Cinema during the 1950s. The Early film Criticism of Francois Truffaut makes available, for the first time in English, articles that originally appeared in French journals such as Cahiers du Cinema and Arts. Truffaut discusses films by such acknowledged masters as Hitchcock, Huston, Dymytryk, and Lang, but also examines the work of such lesser-known directors as Robert Wise, Don Weis, and Roger Vadim.
