With Bryan Forbes
In his 70th year Alfred Hitchcock comes to the National Film Theatre in London, to talk to fellow-director Bryan Forbes, and to answer questions from an audience of film enthusiasts about his 50 years as a film-maker.

'...the basis of my work is the making of nightmares with as much realism as possible...'
'...if I made a musical, I'm sure the public would wonder when one of the chorus girls will drop dead. And from what...'
' ...the viewer of television murder can enjoy all the sensations without the mess: no stains to remove, no body to dispose of, no cement to dry...'
'...I'm no different from the man who builds a switchback railway and says I'm going to make this first dip a pretty good one; just you listen to them scream!'
with scenes from Blackmail (1929), The Lady Vanishes (1938), Psycho (1960), The Birds (1963), Torn Curtain (1966)
