Happy birthday, Hitchcock! Here's every cameo he did in one handy video Directed by Kent Jones ( A Letter to Elia), the movie includes appearances by Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Wes Anderson and Richard Linklater as they mull the Hollywood legend's style and influence.
In their meetings in Hitchcock's offices at Universal Studios, their conversations formed the basis not only of a lifelong friendship but also of Truffaut's 1967 book, Hitchcock.Īudiotapes from their encounters are woven into a new documentary, Hitchcock/Truffaut (opens Wednesday in New York and Friday in Los Angeles expands to 19 additional cities throughout December), which explores the making of Hitchcock's greatest successes ( Psycho, The Birds) and financial flops ( Vertigo, The Wrong Man). In 1962, a young French director named François Truffaut wrote Alfred Hitchcock a letter, asking to sit down with him for a week-long series of interviews in Hollywood.Īt the time, Hitchcock was still regarded as a light entertainer, a perception Truffaut hoped to dispel by diving headlong into the British auteur's illustrious body of work.
