Hitchcock’s previously untold origin story
.
Alfred Hitchcock called
The Lodger "
the first true Hitchcock movie," the one that anticipated all the others. And yet the story of how
The Lodger
came to be made is shrouded in myth, often repeated and much embellished, even by Hitchcock himself.
The First True Hitchcock
focuses on the twelve-month period that encompassed
The Lodger'
s production in 1926 and release in 1927, presenting a new picture of this pivotal year in Hitchcock's life and in the wider film world. Using fresh archival discoveries, Henry K. Miller situates Hitchcock's formation as a director against the backdrop of a continent shattered by war and confronted with the looming presence of a new superpower, the United States, and its most visible export—film. The previously untold story of
s making in the London fog—and attempted remaking in the Los Angeles sun—is the story of how Hitchcock became Hitchcock.
