 In this six-week course, students will be introduced to pioneering creative interpretations of suspense in the American Way by two Englishmen, Roald Dahl and Alfred Hitchcock, who became American household standards of suspense. Such were the days of the American consciousness in the 1950\u2019s and 60\u2019s where the hallmarks of constancy and steadfastness provided the cultural norms of the time. Each week the course will pair one Hitchcock short film with its Dahl short story inspiration. In order to best understand the immense audience popularity attained from the suspense genre, students will learn about the human psychology that underpins our human desire to create art from the artful.<\/p>\n
