Author of Hitchcock’s Notebooks (HarperCollins), Vertigo: The Making of a Hitchcock Classic (St. Martin’s Press), Journey to film: The Making of Cold Mountain (Newmarket) and Taschen’s Some Like it Hot (Taschen).
Emerging independent filmmaker, retired secondary teacher and raconteur to anyone foolish enough to sit next to him for longer than a few beats.
Lives in Long Beach, but spends much of his time in that virtual space san soliel, enduring vertigo as the man who knew too much.

Knife in the Water is superb, just so you know. It's one of Polanski's greatest works and I am a huge polanski fan...not sure if it's the mutual?
