Alfred Hitchcock said that fear of the dark is natural. However, being afraid of the sunlight, or a restaurant is really something else, it's fascinating. He takes the story of Little red riding hood. We are always going to be scared because were confronted with a different wolf everyday.
In this book, alfred reveals his true insights on the film industry. Everyone is can be seen as creative, however they must pass the line between failure and sucess. This line represents miracles that seem to have occured when it was seen as a terrible time. When Hitch launched is new movie titled the Lodger, it was rejected for months. Subsequently (after the dreadful phase), the film was asked to be played and soon named the greatiest British picture ever made.

(Some
Movies: Downhill, Easy Virtue, The Ring, The farmer's wife, Champagne, Blackmail, Juno and the Paycock, Murder!, The Skin Game , Rich and Strange , number 17and Mary). Blackmail and the lodger were 2 films that were exceedingly outstanding. Hitch became a well-known director. Although his were exellent and entertaining, Hitch never really invested time in watching his movies, he was concentrated on the next projects.
It seemed to Alfred that with every new film he brought in, he would incorporate something more fantastic.
