As a scholar for Turner Classic Movies' online Hitchcock class during the summer of 2017, the author became frustrated with the misleading and superficial references to the director's comic relief. This book aims to address this gap by delving into the various types of comedy Hitchcock employed in his films, including black humor, parody, farce\/screwball comedy, and romantic comedy, to create entertaining comic thrillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 398g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 220 x 154 x 17 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781476673561                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wes D.
