ABOUT THE BOOK: Psycho, Vertigo and North by Northwest are just three of the iconic thrillers made by Alfred Hitchcock in collaboration with his friend, the ground-breaking, Oscar-winning composer Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane, Taxi Driver). Join us as Herrmann’s biographer, Steven C. Smith, shares with us rare video and audio from the making of these classic movies, and tells the colorful story of the brilliant, strong-willed duo, whose work has inspired everyone from the Beatles and Lady Gaga to Quentin Tarantino. Steven will also be signing copies of his new book, Hitchcock & Herrmann: The Friendship and Film Scores That Changed Cinema. Danny Elfman has called Steven's book “essential,” and John Williams describes it as a “wonderful study of two of history's most lovable incorrigibles.”
ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Steven C. Smith is a four-time Emmy-nominated producer and an award-winning author. His over 200 documentaries about film and music include collaborations with Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Stephen Sondheim, John Williams, Julie Andrews, and Sidney Poitier. He is the author of biographies of composers Bernard Herrmann and Max Steiner, and he has lectured at the Library of Congress, the American Film Institute, and the Academy of Motion Pictures Museum.
