Writing with the full cooperation of the director's family, many crew members, and the film's restoration team, film historian Dan Auiler offers an in-depth re-creation of the making of Hitchcock's signature thriller. Through an extensive review of early script drafts, detailed interviews with the participants, and many archival materials, Auiler leads us down the winding path that brought this spellbinding and desperately romantic film to the screen. Hitchcock's working style was a unique blend of inspiration and method, and in these pages we watch him at work on every stage in the film's development—from his analysis and transformation of the original story to his execution of each shot in the film. Scores of production notes, sketches, and storyboards—some in Hitchcock's own hand — are included, along with a generous array of stills from the film and its restoration. The result is one of the most thorough and illuminating studies of a single film ever published, and a testament to the enduring power of Alfred Hitchcock's masterwork of suspense and obsession.

First Sentence
"The drive from Alfred Hitchcock's mansion in Bel Air to the famous gates of the Paramount studios on Melrose Avenue-about twenty of thirty minutes east on Sunset to Gower-would have been long enough to give the director time to sort through the day ahead of him as he traveled to work on one spring morning in 1956."
