Who was the true life murderer who inspired Shadow of a Doubt?
Was there really a feud between Hitchcock and studio legend David O. Selznick?
What is the psychology behind some of Hitchcock's most famous characters?
Is there science to support a "perfect" murder as featured in many of Hitchcock's films?
