The Truffaut interview confirmed Hitchcock as a leading auteur director. But to his increasing annoyance, he would never escape his other reputation as master showman.
You really are, I mean, this is a compliment, you really are a sort of ace manipulator, it seems to me, because you know so much about the tricks of the trade.

For ten years starting in 1955, Hitchcock's TV shows were among the most popular on American screens. Produced by his protégé Joan Harrison, they were relished for their clever toils and high production values, but most of all, for Hitchcock's introductions written for him by Jimmy Allardice. |
