Hitchcock: The First Forty-Four Films (original French title: Hitchcock) is a 1957 book by the French film critics Éric Rohmer and Claude Chabrol. It is a study of the films of the English director Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock was highly regarded by the critics-filmmakers of the French New Wave, to which Rohmer and Chabrol belonged.[1][2] The book was the first major study of Hitchcock as a serious filmmaker.[3]
An English translation of the book was published in 1979.[4] Its focus on ethics and theological issues had significant impact on early academic studies of Hitchcock's films.[5] According to the film studies scholar John Orr in 2005, it "remains the best critical book on his work in any language".[6]
