Few filmmakers have been as popular, critically acclaimed, and influential as Hitchcock. Not only is he celebrated as a director, but also as a multi-media showman through his tv series, magazines, and book anthologies, with his influence even extending to board games and record albums. This presentation looks at his achievements as \u201cthe master of suspense,\u201d and through dozens of film clips, examines his extraordinary creativity as one of the 20th century\u2019s greatest filmmakers.<\/p>\n<p>Registration is required for the Zoom presentation. <a href=\"https:\/\/edgartownlibrary.assabetinteractive.com\/calendar\/online-the-films-of-alfred-hitchcock\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Click here to register<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This program has been generously funded by the Friends of the Edgartown Free Public Library, Vineyard Haven Public Library, West Tisbury Free Public Library, Chilmark Free Public Library, and Oak Bluffs Public Library.<\/p>\n<p>BRIAN ROSE is a professor emeritus at Fordham University, where he taught for 38 years in the<br \/>\nDepartment of Communication and Media Studies.
