The World of Alfred Hitchcock is a 1976 Danish T.V. documentary directed by Annett Wolf, about the English film director Alfred Hitchcock.

Synopsis

In the setting of his office at Universal Studios, Alfred Hitchcock shares his vision of what an artistic film should be in the framework of a commercial industry, the difference between suspense films and mystery films, his conception of eroticism and his vision of Scandinavian women. He also explains in details how he created the suspense in the famous sequence of North by Northwest in the corn field. The film contains an original interview with Bruce Dern, who describes Hitchcock’s method as a director, and film clips from North by Northwest, Frenzy, Topaz, and Family Plot.
