Writer and film critic Tilo Vydra has created the first double biography of the legendary creative couple Alma and Alfred Hitchcock, based on a huge array of documents and numerous interviews. Carefully and admiringly watching the main events and films in the life of this couple, the author has created a magnificent work on the history of cinema of the twentieth century. Throughout his life, the Hitchcocks were pioneers who repeatedly found the perfect form to express their vision. Together they created such masterpieces as "Psycho", "Window to the courtyard", "Catch a Thief", "Vertigo" and "Birds". Although Alma preferred to remain in the shadows, being a screenwriter and a master of editing, she had the last word in all important decisions. "Finally, a book has appeared that recognizes Hitchcock's wife as his equal co—author," says director Margarethe von Trotta. The book will be of interest to film fans, fans of biographies of remarkable people, as well as those who are interested in the issue of women's emancipation and their role in cultural history.
