Reviews of "The Young Alfred Hitchcock's Moviemaking Master Class"

"An update of Tony Lee Moral's primer, which uses Hitch's tips and techniques for a slightly fanciful how-to guide for today's budding auteurs. Refreshing, though, to focus on the Master's work rather than his peccadillos." - Neil Smith, Total Film Magazine

"There's much of interest here and most Hitchcock fans will learn something. The book makes for a diverting journey through Hitch's films and it provides some fairly detailed background information on their making. The book reminds you how innovative and entertaining Hitchcock's films were, and it's sure to send you back to rewatch the ones you've seen before to see what you missed, and explore those you still haven't." - Cinema Essentials

“For any lover of Hitchcock, it is enthralling." - Alec McCowen, star of Frenzy

“Positive coverage of one of the giants of film — I was privileged to be taught by him in that craft — always with courtesy, humor, and great insight. I am indebted to him." - Barbara Leigh-Hunt, star of Frenzy

“Tony Lee Moral has had a brilliant idea. Whether or not one agrees with the world’s critics that Vertigo is the greatest film ever made, no one is going to contest the idea that Hitchcock was, among many other things, the supreme master of film technique, able perhaps better than anyone else to give the fullest possible expression on film of what he wanted to say. Who better, therefore, to turn to for enlightenment on how film ought to be done? And that is precisely what Moral does in Alfred Hitchcock’s Moviemaking Master Class." - John Russell Taylor, Alfred Hitchcock’s authorized biographer
