The book walks through all of Hitchcock's films, from his early British period to <i><a href="/wiki/Torn_Curtain" title="Torn Curtain">Torn Curtain</a></i>. After Hitchcock's death, Truffaut updated the book with a new preface and final chapter on Hitchcock's later films <i><a href="/wiki/Topaz_(1969_film)" title="Topaz (1969 film)">Topaz</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Frenzy" title="Frenzy">Frenzy</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Family_Plot" title="Family Plot">Family Plot</a></i>, as well as his unrealized project <i><a href="/wiki/Alfred_Hitchcock%27s_unrealized_projects" title="Alfred Hitchcock's unrealized projects">The Short Night</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hitchcock/Truffaut&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the preface to the revised edition, Truffaut explains that "In 1962, while in New York to present <i><a href="/wiki/Jules_and_Jim" title="Jules and Jim">Jules and Jim</a></i>, I noticed that every journalist asked me the same question: 'Why do the critics of <i><a href="/wiki/Cahiers_du_Cin%C3%A9ma" title="Cahiers du Cinéma">Cahiers du Cinéma</a></i> take Hitchcock so seriously? He's rich and successful, but his movies have no substance.' In the course of an interview during which I praised <i><a href="/wiki/Rear_Window" title="Rear Window">Rear Window</a></i> to the skies, an American critic surprised me by commenting, you love <i>Rear Window</i> because you know nothing about Greenwich Village. To this absurd statement, I replied, '<i>Rear Window</i> is not about Greenwich Village, it is a film about cinema, and I <i>do</i> know cinema.' </p><p>"Upon my return to Paris, I was still disturbed by this exchange. From my past career as a critic, in common with all of the young writers from <i>Cahiers du Cinéma</i>, I still felt the imperative need to convince. It was obvious that Hitchcock, whose genius for publicity was equaled only by that of <a href="/wiki/Salvador_Dal%C3%AD" title="Salvador Dalí">Salvador Dali</a>, had in the long run been victimized in American intellectual circles because of his facetious response to interviewers and his deliberate practice of deriding their questions. In examining his films it was obvious that he had given more thought to the potential of his art form than any of his colleagues. It occurred to me that if he would, for the first time, agree to responding seriously to a systematic questionnaire, the resulting document might modify the American critics' approach to Hitchcock."<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Content">Content</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hitchcock/Truffaut&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Content"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Truffaut and Hitchcock trace the arc of Hitchcock's career: his design of title cards for silent films; his time in Germany and the influence of <a href="/wiki/Fritz_Lang" title="Fritz Lang">Lang</a> and <a href="/wiki/F._W._Murnau" title="F.

He defines his concept of the <a href="/wiki/MacGuffin" title="MacGuffin">MacGuffin</a>: "Well, it's the device, the gimmick, if you will... The theft of secret documents was the original MacGuffin. So the 'MacGuffin' is the term we use to cover all that sort of thing: to steal plans or documents, or discover a secret, it doesn't matter what it is. And the logicians are wrong in trying to figure out the truth of a MacGuffin, since it's beside the point. The only thing that really matters is that in the picture the plans, documents, or secrets must seem to be of vital importance to the characters. To me, the narrator, they're of no importance whatever."<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He says that "<i><a href="/wiki/Psycho_(1960_film)" title="Psycho (1960 film)">Psycho</a></i> had a very interesting construction and that game with the audience was fascinating.
