Alfred Hitchcock
A Hank of Hair and a Piece of Bone
For almost fifty years, Alfred Hitchcock filled his films with a select group of images, including houses, staircases, women's hair, the human hand, the human eye, the "uncanny," and the swirling vortex. He reworked these images over and over again, achieving his greatest triumph in Psycho. This photo essay, a companion to "Here's Looking at You, Kid! Alfred Hitchcock and Psycho," will present examples of these images collected from a number of Hitchcock's films, along with examples of Hitchcock's camera movement from Notorious and The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956).
