Alfred Hitchcock on Television
← Back to Alfred Hitchcock Profile
“One of television’s great contributions is that it brought murder back into the home, where it belongs.”
“Like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn’t change people’s habits. It just kept them inside the house.”
“Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it.”
“Seeing a murder on television can … help work off one’s antagonisms. And if you haven’t any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some.”
