The Tom Snyder
Alfred Hitchcock Interview
Excellent interview of Alfred
Hitchcock by Tom Snyder, host of NBC's "Tomorrow" show. The show
first aired May 29,
1973,
almost 30 years ago.
Hitch was in his 70s. Snyder
sets up the interview by stating they were not going to talk about movies but
about ideas. Tidbits: What frightens you? What is your idea of
Happiness?
What
part has religion played in your life and career? What other directors do you
admire? What makes you angry? Movies' influence on audience? What turns you
off in movies? What is suspense?
Tom (with a full
head of dark brown hair!) brings up discussion that they both had Jesuit
training. Discussion about Ingrid Bergman - Hitch quoted her as saying "The
problem with Hitch is he won't have a fight" - Hitch would just walk away from
her and that would "infuriate her." Hitch tells many stories, including his
"favorite" story, which we won't divulge and ruin your fun. Hitch says he is a
big
practical joker, telling many of the favorites he pulled. Talks about use of
nudity in movies. Talks of his diets - "I lost 100 pounds during making of
'Lifeboat' - lost 500 pounds during my lifetime." Says most gratifying thing
about his career was that he was recognized on the street all over the world -
Japan, Africa, everywhere.
