Alfred Hitchcock’s London 6x9 paperback, 326 pages, You will visit Hitchcock's favorite hotels and restaurants, including the venerable Simpson's, which is depicted in the film Sabotage, as well as the real-life crime scenes that inspired The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Paradine Case, Rear Window, Frenzy, "Arthur" and more! You will also retrace the climactic car chase of Blackmail; penetrate the foreboding world of Frenzy serial killer Bob Rusk; listen to the Paradine Case evidence at the Old Bailey; and uncover dozens of locations described in Hitchcock's literary sources, including The Lodger, Enter Sir John (whence Murder!), The Wheel Spins (whence The Lady Vanishes), Dial M for Murder, and Marnie. A number of locations outside of London are also described, including the stately homes of The Paradine Case and Easy Virtue and the original inspiration for Rebecca's Manderley. Researched with the cooperation of the British Film Institute and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, this book includes photographs of the locations, directions to all sites, behind the scenes production information, and exclusive comments from the family and colleagues of Alfred Hitchcock, including his daughter, Patricia.
