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.
