Download The Dark Side of Genius: The Life of Alfred Hitchcock AudioBook Free
The story of the man who improved people's relationships with their showers forever, thanks to Psycho, this is actually the classic, Edgar Award-winning biography of the enigmatic and intensely private Alfred Hitchcock. One of America's greatest film directors, his suspenseful subject material ranged from the dark play of a man possibly trying to kill his wife, to the humorous problem of losing a body, to the ecological underpinnings of the invasion by fowl fiends in a sleepy harbor town. Acclaimed biographer Donald Spoto explores the origins of Hitchcock's obsessions - with food, murder, and idealized love, among others - and traces the origins of his incomparable, bizarre genius, from his child years and education to the gold years of his profession. Based on interviews along with his writers, actors, and longtime affiliates, and on exhaustive research, The Dark Part of Genius is the definitive biography of Alfred Hitchcock. Donald Spoto is the writer of more than 20 catalogs, including best-selling biographies of Alfred Hitchcock, Tennessee Williams, Laurence Olivier, Marlene Dietrich, Ingrid Bergman, and Audrey Hepburn. He lives along with his husband, Danish musician and school administrator Ole Flemming Larsen, near Copenhagen, Denmark.
