Hicth forever

I liked this book a lot. First of all, it showed me how much discussion and creative brain-storming is involved into a script preparation, especially when the director is a perfectionist like Hitch. Second, I was amazed by noting that the conflicting relationship between the script-writer and the director has been so intense that it still emerges from pages written more than thirty years later. In this conflict between the professional script-writer and the non-rational genius, those of us who have intensely loved The Birds and Marnie stay with the genius.
