Feeding the legend -- Interlude 1. Tasty bodies -- Smaller screen, bigger brand : hosting "Hitchcock" -- Interlude 2. Double hosting -- Hitchcockian reflections : traces, proxies, doubles, and corpses.

In this study of Alfred Hitchcock's two television series, Jan Olsson demonstrates how Hitchcock created a personal brand built on his large body, gastronomical proclivities, and the manipulation of bodies and food, which allowed him to mark his creative oeuvre as strictly his own.
