Open Culture is celebrating Francois Truffaut's birth by "bringing back a wonderful series of audio recordings — Truffaut’s lengthy interview with another legendary director,Alfred Hitchcock".

CTC does not own Truffaut's classic work Alfred Hitchcock : A Definitive Study. Over a thousand libraries do own this title. It could be borrowed through inter-library loan. Do a search in World Cat, then fill in the Request Item form to have the book sent to your library.

A search through our collection pulled up over 30 titles about Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock on Hitchcock : Selected Writings and Interviews refers to the interviews with Truffaut in a number of places. (Using the search feature in an electronic book is so wonderful).

Listen to the interviews and read the quotes to see if you think Truffaut captured the real Hitchcock.
