SMFS Member Publishing News: Beyond The Master of Suspense: How True Crime Influenced The Films of Alfred Hitchcock by Justin Murphy


SMFS list member Justin Murphy has published his new book, Beyond The Master of Suspense: How True Crime Influenced The Films of Alfred Hitchcock. Part of his Serial Killers/True Crime series, the read is available in eBook format at Amazon.

 

Amazon Listing:

Many have seen and studied the classic films of Alfred Hitchcock, but how many know a lot of these movies were inspired by real life murders? These cases range from his native England in the 1800’s to 1950’s America. Influencing his work from The Lodger, his third directorial effort and first true suspense thriller, all the way down to Frenzy, his next to final film. Such minor details appear in his films as a woman’s necklace or being buried in a garden. Or can be so detailed that one film, about a wrongly accused musician, is based on a true story outright.
