		His summing-up of Hitchcock's career has a point of view, which never gets in the way of the story being told, and it is also the most beautiful book ever put together on this subject.
		Hitchcock "saw everything," according to production designer Robert Boyle - an important observation that was confirmed for me by Gary Graver, who shot such great Orson Welles films as F For Fake (1975) and the still-unfinished Other Side Of The Wind (1972-2000).
		The hefty role of coincidence in the film is thoroughly Dickensian, being expressive of something the characters can't comprehend...One such 'coincidence' is the fact that all the alibi-witnesses have died or disappeared.
