Great newsletter today, Maura! I'm a huge Hitchcock fan, Vertigo was my favorite for many years -love the dolly cam- (I think my favorite nowadays is North by Northwest) but I love everything by him. I also was born & raised on stuff like Arthur Rackham's fairy tale work + mermaids, and Lewis Carroll amongst a million other favorite things.
*btw didst thou knoweth Stephen King is such a fan of Princess Bride (+ the original work it was based on) that he begged William Goldman to finish the sequel? To the point that when he still procrastinated on it Stephen King suggested he would write it himself if William was so willing to let him do so.
Michael! My apologies for missing this comment, thanks so much for the compliment!
It's hard to choose between Hitchcock's best, as there are many fine contenders. I didn't know that about King/Goldman, but surely King, above anyone else, should be aware of the potential poisoned chalice known as the sequel!
