Abstract

[CIP Greven] (Univ. of South Carolina) takes a sustained look at the psychosexual dynamics of masculine desire found in two generations of American filmmakers. Starting with Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), and following with a long discussion of Psycho (1960), the author jumps ahead a decade to consider three early Brian De Palma comedies-Greetings (1968), Hi, Mom! (1970), Get to Know Your Rabbit (1972)-and Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976).
