Hollywood: The Selznick Years (1969 TV Movie)

Alfred Hitchcock: Self

Quotes 

• Alfred Hitchcock : Selznick belonged to the school of real picture makers of which there are very few today. But on the other hand, uh, they tell me - although I never experienced this - he could be very ruthless.

  [Smiling wryly] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : Maybe one should sum it up by saying he was charmingly ruthless.

• Alfred Hitchcock : [a tongue-in-cheek reading]  When I arrived in America about 25 or more years ago, uh, I did receive a, uh, memo from, uh, Selznick. Well, I've just finished reading it, and I, uh, think it would make a good film. In fact, I'm inclined to call it "The Longest Story Ever Told."
