Am happy to report that the Alfred Hitchcock Scholars/'MacGuffin'
Web site receives a fillip starting tonight when its "Editor's Day"
feature becomes "[Guest] Editor's Day" for a few months.
I can promise you much valuable information. Three leading authors of
books on film will be contributing their knowledge and opinion. They
are: Dan Auiler (author of 'VERTIGO: The
Making of a Hitchcock Classic' and compiler/editor of the forthcoming
mammoth 'Hitchcock's Notebooks'); Adrian Martin (Australia's top film
critic, whose monograph in the BFI Modern Classics Series, 'Once Upon a
Time in America', has been drawing high praise); and Dr Tag
Gallagher (author of the standard work, 'John Ford', and the
newly-published biography, 'The Adventures of Roberto Rossellini').
Dan leads off tonight, writing mainly, or exclusively, about
Hitchcock. Adrian will then be chiming in on film matters
in general, including - he has indicated - such topics as SAVING PRIVATE
RYAN (critical!); Manny Farber on Hitch; the style of John Woo; the
glorious cinema of Brian de Palma; etc. And Tag Gallagher will be
joining in from about mid-January (on, undoubtedly, Ford and Rossellini,
but also much else - perhaps including Douglas Sirk, about whom Tag has
written in the latest 'Film Comment').
So this is likely to be an exciting time on the Web, and I trust that
many of you will care to pay us regular visits.
Meanwhile, the latest hardcopy 'MacGuffin' is out. Contributors include
Prof.Murray Pomerance on a key scene in THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
(1956);
Dr Sue Smith on an aspect of LIFEBOAT;
Craig Canfield reviewing Camille Paglia's 'The Birds'; and Ken Mogg on
UNDER CAPRICORN.
Thanks for reading this.
- Ken Mogg (Ed., 'The MacGuffin').
