while freud may be incredibly useful for analyzing the films of hitchcock, i don't think there is any reason to think that freud actually influenced hitchcock (though "spellbound" offers an interesting melange of psychoanalysis and surrealism). to find more concrete biographical influence on hitchcock, i think it would be more accurate to look to the jesuits and his catholic upbringing. --hunter On 3/6/07, Alan Fair <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Hi, > one obvious example of influence would be Freud on Hitchcock. > peace > alan > > A.
