Many of the legends of film have already left us – nerds will never get more Star Trek from Gene himself. Comedy fans will never work with Ivan Rietman agin. So when it comes to film history redisovering something that was considered lost to time becomes an exciting prospect.

In 1966 the interviews between famous film critic François Truffaut and infamous filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock were published. Recognized as one of the best works on the craft of filmmaking and the history of the films of Hitchcock – this book has seen several editions over the years. These interviews were recorded and at some point the tapes were discovered in a cupboard.

Thanks in part to the YouTube Channel, the French Moviegoer we now have access to those audio interviews.
