Entretiens Hitchcock - Truffaut Audi. One of the more curious passages in Hitchcock/Truffaut takes center-stage inPart Eight of The Hitchcock/Truffaut Tapes. Before the exploration of his largely triumphal career in Hollywood commences, Alfred Hitchcock is asked to render a few observations on the current state of Cinema in Great Britain, as well as his own role in its history. Before the Master of Suspense can get an answer rolling, however, a somewhat less-than-restrained François Truffaut proceeds -- seeming aware of how awkward his interruption is -- to offer his own remarkably strident view: To him, British cinema before the arrival of Hitchcock in the late 1920s had been at best a languid affair; a strain of cinematic expression overwhelmed and brought low by a frightful inanition that seemed to have telling implications about Britain's national character.
It's hard to discern the extent to which Truffaut did or did not believe this. Think about it a second. But try telling François Truffaut that. Hitchcockmania.it.

Interview: Alfred Hitchcock and Huw Wheldon (BBC, 05/Jul/1964) - The following interview, between Alfred Hitchcock and Huw Wheldon, was filmed for the BBC television programme "Monitor" and was first broadcast on 05/Jul/1964. Audio Video (c) BBC Transcript (uncompleted) Let’s start, Mr Hitchcock, by discussing this whole business of frightening the audiences.
Do you find that audiences are frightened by different things now from the things that frightened them when you started, what, 30 years ago... 35 years ago, making films? No, I wouldn’t say so, because after all they were frightened as children. When you make a film, are you setting out to frighten men or women, or both? Women – because 80% of the audience in the cinema are women. Do you think that it does an injustice to you, simply to think of you as a man who above all else has frightened the wits out of audiences? Yes, but you have to remember that this process of frightening is done by means of a given medium – the medium of “pure cinema” is what I believe in.
Oh, yes... Oh, I think so. Yes.
