Reviews

[Jonathan Jerden · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pics and background storyline of Hitches top 50 films, from the late 1920's silent era to his last picture with Paul Newman in 1976. My fav. is The Birds, largely because it was partially filmed in Bodega, Calif. about 8 miles as the crow flies from my Sonoma County ranch.

[John Peel · Rating 3 out of 5]

An agreeable introduction to the life and career of the cinema great.
