Woody Allen''s <I>Manhattan Murder Mystery</I> has been described as ""a kind of <I>Rear Window</I> for retirees."" As this quote suggests, an analysis of Alfred Hitchcock''s methodical use of comedy in his films is past due. One of Turner Classic Movies'' on-screen scholars for their summer 2017 online Hitchcock class, the author grew tired of misleading throwaway references to the director''s ""comic relief."" This book examines what should be obvious: Hitchcock systematically incorporated assorted types of comedy--black humor, parody, farce/screwball comedy and romantic comedy--in his films to entertain his audience with ""comic"" thrillers.
