Although Truffaut claimed that the recordings lasted 50 hours, the surviving tapes - which cover the 1962 interviews - last for less than 26 hours. In 1984, Patricia Hitchcock donated a set of the interview tapes to the Margaret Herrick Library, where they are now part of the Hitchcock Collection. To bring the book up-to-date, Truffaut conducted further interviews to discuss Marnie and Torn Curtain. Truffaut had intended to quickly publish the book of the interviews, but the first edition wasn't published until several years later (1966 in France and 1967 in America). The interviews were recorded to audio tape and the content eventually edited down into Truffaut's Hitchcock book.Īlthough Truffaut could speak a little English, he hired Helen Scott (of the French Film Office in New York) to act as the translator for the interviews. In the fall of 1962, whilst The Birds was in post-production, François Truffaut carried out extensive interviews with Alfred Hitchcock at his offices at Universal Studios.
