ALFRED HITCHCOCK: MASTER OF SUSPENSE

WinStar Home Entertainment 55 minutes, $19.98

Alfred Hitchcock makes more than his stereotypical cameo appearance in this video, narrated by Oscar winner Cliff Robertson. The tape zigzags around a fascinating and frank interview with Hitchcock, who sits behind a desk and looks straight into the camera, revealing some of the secrets of his oft-mimicked cinematic technique. He also tells the stories behind some of the most dramatic moments in film history, as well as childhood experiences that manifested themselves in his movies. Film buffs will revel not only in this chance to glean information from the master himself, but in the opportunity to view a kaleidoscope of clips from such classic Hitchcock films as "Psycho," "North By Northwest," "The Birds," and Hitchcock's favorite, "Shadow Of A Doubt."
