The Lovesong of Alfred J Hitchcock
A "film for radio" by David Rudkin. Starring Richard Griffiths as Alfred Hitchcock and Michael Fitzgerald as The Camera.
1957: Alfred Hitchcock is busy crystallising images and ideas that will ultimately become Vertigo, Psycho ... Thoughts, memories and obsessions haunt the film director and lead towards a frightening realisation about the meaning of his life's work. Director Philip Martin says the play is both a celebration of Hitchcock's art and an exploration of the dark loneliness of a fat man who used leading men like James Stewart and Cary Grant to enact his fantasies with stars like
Grace Kelly , Kim Novak and - the only actress to whom Hitchcock is known to have made a physical advance - Tippi Hedren.
