In 1962 François Truffaut sat down with Alfred Hitchcock for an extended interview covering Hitchcock's entire career, film by film. First published in 1967 and then again in 1983, the book is instructive and entertaining to moviemakers and movie aficionados alike. Truffaut brought boundless enthusiasm and his broad cinematic knowledge, which encouraged Hitchcock to bring both candor and wit and ultimately kept the proceedings lively despite the language barrier.
