{"product_id":"9780226374703","title":"Hidden Hitchcock","description":"No filmmaker has more successfully courted mass-audience understanding than Alfred Hitchcock, and none has been studied more intensively by scholars. In \u003ci\u003eHidden Hitchcock\u003c\/i\u003e, D. A. Miller does what seems impossible: he discovers what has remained unseen in Hitchcock’s movies, a secret style that imbues his films with a radical duplicity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Focusing on three films—\u003ci\u003eStrangers on a Train\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRope\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Wrong Man\u003c\/i\u003e—Miller shows how Hitchcock anticipates, even demands a “Too-Close Viewer.” Dwelling within us all and vigilant even when everything appears to be in good order, this Too-Close Viewer attempts to see more than the director points out, to expand the space of the film and the duration of the viewing experience. And, thanks to \u003ci\u003eHidden Hitchcock\u003c\/i\u003e, that obsessive attention is rewarded. In Hitchcock’s visual puns, his so-called continuity errors, and his hidden appearances (not to be confused with his cameos), Miller finds wellsprings of enigma.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eHidden Hitchcock\u003c\/i\u003e is a revelatory work that not only shows how little we know this best known of filmmakers, but also how near such too-close viewing comes to cinephilic madness.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120095510768,"sku":"9780226374703","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780226374703_p0.jpg?v=1769915884","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780226374703","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
