His designs include methods to conserve natural resources and to derive
maximum benefits on which the arcologies are to be built.

out, and how these proposed man-made environments which characterize
modern man's attempts to solve environmental problems.

In part one, Pia Lindstrom will talk with the master about many aspects of
his craft ancLfilm clips will be scattered throughout.
*NOTE: The film director will discuss his use of such devices as unusual
methods of murder, trains, aristocratic blonde women and bizarre, highly
suspenseful
situations which characterize most of the numerous films be has directed.
Specific points made by Hitchcock in the course of these conversations will
be illustrated by film dips, among them a sequence from the silent film "The
Lodger"
(in which he cleverly suggested sound), a montage of beautiful women such as
Ingrid Bergman, Eva Marie Saint, Madeleine Carroll, Janet Leigh, Grace Kelly
and others who have starred in his films, and a montage of those eagerly
awaited moments when Hitchcock himself appeared on camera.
These two "Camera Three" interviews differ greatly from one another. Today
when Hitchcock speaks with Pia Lindstrom, who, as the daughter of Ingrid
Bergman,
has known him since her childhood, he will describe why he chooses
particular films to direct, what he thinks of "method" actors, his
conception of an ideal villain,
directing silent films and how he regards his own fame.
*TRIVIA: Hitchcock long ago adopted as his own the aim of Dickens Fat Boy:
"I want to make your flesh creep." He is the acknowledged master of
thrillers.
Beyond that, he has a brilliant visual sense, a distinctive Hitchcockian
style. Francois Truffaut, the French filmmaker, places him "among such
artists
of anxiety as Kafka, Destoyevsky and Poe."
