	Bookreporter.com - ALFRED HITCHCOCK by Patrick McGilligan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Patrick McGilligan, whose previous biographies on cinematic legends include Fritz Lang, George Cukor, James Cagney and Clint Eastwood, has compiled another masterwork of research and insight.
		McGilligan draws a fascinating picture of the movie industry, pitting artiste against tyrannical studio mogul; the battles between Hitchcock and David O. Selznick are at once amusing, picayune and frustrating.
		McGilligan portrays Hitchcock's work habits, his devotion to family and his loyalty to writers and crew members, and relationships (and in some cases impatience) with certain actors to paint a sympathetic portrait, refuting many of the less-than-flattering allegations about Hitchcock in earlier books.

	Book review, Patrick McGilligan
		Yet in Patrick McGilligan's new biography, Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light, one of the most interesting things we learn about this "ultimate magician of the cinema" is that he was also a practical businessman.
		But McGilligan fails to vary his emphasis between films of critical and minor importance: Each is given more or less the same space in the book, which begins to feel like a metronome of descriptions and anecdotes.
		As a systematic record of Hitchcock's life and work, it is successful, but McGilligan has missed an opportunity to come to grips with the dynamics at the heart of the movie industry and the interrelated dynamics in the heart and head of this most distinctive director.

	Alfred Hitchcock : A Life in Darkness and Light (Patrick McGilligan) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In fact, Patrick McGilligan may have given short shrift to some of your favorites, in which case we need to concede that not only is this book short; it's actually too short.
		McGilligan's Alfred Hitchcock : A Life in Darkness and Light is not a "tell all the dirty secrets" biography, but rather a serious attempt to examine the man and his life, filling in the pieces through interviews, letters and published writings.
		McGilligan is an unabashed fan of Hitch but doesn't let that keep him from calling a spade a spade when Hitch misbehaves.

	Irish Echo Online - Arts
		McGilligan said that while Hitchcock's relationship with Reville has been downplayed, and they downplayed it themselves publicly, she was the most important person in his life for 55 years.
		McGilligan feels certain that the future director knew Thompson, a woman whom people in England were convinced was innocent of inciting her lover to murder.
		McGilligan said the Catholic influence is both "reverent" and "sophisticated" in the Hitchcock films: "Nuns, and churches and church-like buildings; and in the arc of the stories, from crime to punishment to redemption.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Fritz Lang: The Nature of the Beast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		But in Patrick McGilligan's assessment, Lang "lived his life--and cultivated his legend--with the glinted eyes of a maniac." Until his death in 1976, Lang carefully manipulated the events of his past, omitting his first wife's mysterious death, his tyrannical treatment of his associates, and his many liaisons with famous women.
		McGilligan suggests Lang murdered his first wife and that he was a Nazi sympathizer; the former is highly unlikely, the latter is demonstrably false.
		McGilligan seems to have had an agenda, which was to depict Lang as a completely unsympathetic "beast" (as in the title).

	Patrick McGilligan - Politics.ie Wiki
		Born in Coleraine, Co. Derry, McGilligan was unsuccessful in his campaign in the 1918 Westminster Election, losing in Londonderry North to the Unionist candidate Hugh Anderson.
		On the assassination of Kevin O'Higgins in 1927, McGilligan also took up the post of Minister for External Affairs, and it was in this role that he played a large part in drafting the Statute of Westminster.
		He was offered the position again when Fine Gael came back to power in 1954, but became the only man in history to turn down the position in Finance, preferring to become Attorney General and serving until 1957.

		McGilligan bothered to read the book, she might have said "Thanks, but no thanks," and request that her name be removed from such a seamy book.
		McGilligan has Ronald Reagan appropriating Dirty Harry's famous "Make my day" speech from Sudden Impact in March 1983, nine months before the film is released.
		McGilligan is fairly thorough, offering more information about Eastwood's ancestry than we might even want to know about our own, and providing a more subjective view of the star's contribution to the cinema.

	Bookreporter.com - CLINT by Patrick McGilligan
		McGilligan begins by tracing Clint Eastwood's ancestry, stressing his good fortune in having an amalgamation of artistic flair and business shrewdness to go along with his inherited weak points.
		McGilligan reveals Clint Eastwood to be a fallible human being with phenomenal luck, good looks, sharp business acumen, and a deep-rooted thriftiness.
		McGilligan emphasizes how ironic it is that Clint Eastwood's very lack of expression and thin voice --- the despair of his acting coaches --- his non-acting, so to speak, became his forte, his trademark.

	Books: Patrick McGilligan and Paul Buhle (The Boston Phoenix . 11-17-97)
		Fifty years ago, Congress initiated the most grievous assault on freedom of expression in American history, and one for which it has yet to acknowledge any wrongdoing.
		Now, Patrick McGilligan and Paul Buhle's moving and engrossing Tender Comrades provides the human faces -- and voices -- behind the rhetoric and the history.
		A compilation of interviews with 36 people who refused to cooperate with HUAC and suffered the consequences, Comrades is not only a compelling indictment of repression but an alternative history of Hollywood, replete with vivid, often hilarious anecdotes and irreverent glimpses of film-industry icons.

	The BEATRICE Interview: 1997
		When Patrick McGilligan began work on Fritz Lang: The Nature of the Beast, he knew barely anything, or as he puts it, "just slightly more than my mother," about the life of the German director who fled to America during Hitler's rise to power.
		They explain a lot about the creative processes involved and what the films ultimately do reveal about their makers." McGilligan is also the co-editor of Tender Comrades, a massive (about 900 pages) collection of interviews with people who were working in Hollywood during the fllist era.
		The thoughts, the ideas, and the stories in the book are all theirs." Whether he allows people to speak for themselves or orchestrates their lives into a full-scale biography, very few people are as effective as presenting life stories as Patrick McGilligan has proven himself to be.

	Patrick McGilligan, Alfred Hitchcock
		Generally speaking, fans of Alfred Hitchcock are only interested in reading about his life as far as it concerns and enlightens areas of his film work.
		Details are very important to McGilligan, who has also been the biographer of such cinema legends as Fritz Lang and George Cukor; so much so that, while an extremely involving read, Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light is by no means one that can be quickly tossed off.
		It is impossible to write a life without referring to the previous biographies written on that person, and McGilligan makes great use of the available materials — also subtly commenting on their quality.

		He has long been an internationally famous star, first of television and then of the movies, and he has more recently joined a select group of Oscar-winning actor-directors, including Orson Welles, Charlie Chaplin and Woody Allen.
		But the real Clint, previously only ever guessed at, or glimpsed imperfectly, has never been so honestly and thoroughly revealed as in this gripping and scrupulously researched biography by one of America's top film writers, Patrick McGilligan.
		Now approaching 70, he has tended to play characters who are cold, hard and morally ambiguous: from Sergio Leone's "spaghetti westerns" through "Hang Em High" and "Dirty Harry" to "Pale Rider" and "Unforgiven".

		That quote comes from Patrick McGilligan, Hitchcock's latest and only second full-scale biographer — hard as that may be to believe, considering the truly preposterous quantity of books that have been done on the man and all aspects of his work.
		We also learn that he loved his wife beyond all logic, was loyal to his friends, and maintained, throughout the course of a career that spanned a half-century, a completely honest devotion to his craft.
		He left school at the age of sixteen to become an electrician at Henley's, a manufacturer of various electronic apparatuses, a job that would prepare him for film even further, as McGilligan so lucidly and convincingly shows: "Hitchcock swiftly graduated to the sales section, where he honed his design and draftsmanship skills.
