fifth place from the top, william hitchcock is the biography we chose but historians rated eisenhower in fifth place. there is a hidden hand theory very about his presidency. his lowest score was public persuasion. the next we chose a t.r., we used a wonderful biography called "wilderness warrior." i'm sure we will learn more about douglas brinkley about why he chose t.r.'s agenda. his lowest score was equal justice, pursuing equal justice for all. in third place, franklin delano roosevelt. we chose goodwins really terrific biography on the white house years when they had all those interesting people including winston churchill living on the second floor of the white house to help them get through the war years. his lowest score was economic management. and pursuing equal justice for all. in second place was george washington, scoring 1's and 2's. his single lowest score, and the folks in mount vernon have been working hard to help us understand is equal justice for all. and the top winner in our survey and every survey ever done is abraham lincoln. the top score was 1000 and abraham

listen, there's this hitchcock put a use to keep on my computer for years when it started writing thrillersand he was, going to pray and to paraphrase, but it's not the bank that scares you. it's the anticipation of it. with this we know abraham lincoln list. we know he's not going to die the whole book so how do you maintain the suspense you will see, and what josh and i had to do, or those of you who don't know, josh was executive producer on lost history. we did all this amazing work with him and he was the best writer and researcher we had our staff, by far. award-winning documentary i the idea of the washington book and i went to him and the publisher was sitting all these writers who were kind of regular, normal history writers. i read their books and unlike the research is good but it's boring. i'm bored. i don't care. it's not alive. i went to josh and the publisher said josh? yes. josh said to me i never knew about before. i've seen your writing. we'll be able to write the book. we can do together. the first time we worked together on the washington book, he wrote everything ontolo

first of all, in fifth place from the top, william hitchcock is the biographer but the historians rated eisenhower in fifth place and he has moved a bit, which maybe speaks to the hidden hand theory that's developing about his presidency. his lowest score is in public persuasion. the next is number fourth place is tr and we have our tr biographer and we chose his wonderful biography called "wilderness warrior" and we'll learn more from david brinkley about why he chose that agenda to focus on. he scored very well but his lowest score was 11th in equal justice -- pursuing equal justice for all. in third place, franklin delano roosevelt. in our book we chose doris kearns goodwin's terrific biography on the white house years when they had all of those interesting people including churchill living on the second floor of the white house to help him get through the war years. his lowest scores, number -- fifth in economic management. and eighth which they're both high scores and pursuing equal justice for all. the next, here we are his home in second place was george washington, scoring ones

to catch a thief, the 1955 mystery romance by alfred hitchcock displays its opening credits over the the appeal of the film, which is set in the french riviera. while viewers may delight in the twisty plot and the unending appeal of stars cary grant and grace kelly, at its core, to catch a thief is a vacation movie, a film whose lead characters travel from home to an exotic locale and give viewers the chance to tag along. i bought as two first—class tickets to iceland. if you're in the market for a trip to europe, you might want to watch land ho, about two seniors who take a trip to iceland to get their groove back. are you still there? still there? go. but because no vacation is complete without a hint of romance. my top choice would be richard linklater‘s before trilogy. these three films before sunrise, before sunset and before midnight track the evolution of a relationship between an american man and a french woman. with each film set in just a single day and in a different area of europe — vienna, paris, and the southern coast of greece. i've asked other people but they're all t

. >> i think the golf club is a, as alfred hitchcock used to say, it's the mcguffin, okay?e it to steve democker, the golfer, the elitist. >> sure. >> the rich guy who is pissed off about. >> fine. but isn't there scientific evidence to say that's a golf club head that hit it? >> no. i don't agree with any of that. and nobody, not a single person could say that that was a golf club. they all said it could have been a golf club. but they also said it could have been other weapon. >> reporter: the defense argued detectives should have looked into other suspects too. one person in particular. jim knapp. the man who rented carol's guest house and arrived at the scene almost immediately after deputies. >> why was he a potential suspect in your view? >> well, it's like the guy who lights the fire that comes back to watch it burn. and that was our feeling about mr. knapp. because it wasn't a little bit of evidence that we had on mr. knapp. it was a mountain of evidence on him. >> reporter: knapp, said the defense attorneys, was in serious financial trouble and cooked up a shameles

i did not want to go broad and shallow so it was all most like hitchcock in reflecting that it was just the school and an accident moved off but primary focus when he had to figure out what happened and i think when i was overseas when i was in england they called me crying fiction had overtaken on general fiction and it's the most popular genre in the uk for the first time ever people asked me why i thought that was and i thought everything is being equal if you can't get what you want in the real world so in thrillers and conviction we have good people and bad people and the good people get justice in the end and truth will come out and it is supposed to end. you can't go on the bad people winning. >> host: i was apprised when i read in the publishing trades but this is the home of agatha christie and sherlock holmes so you think thrillers have always been a part of the british popular choice. >> guest: they really have an crime fiction is really big over there and always has been. i don't know what happened this year but they overtook general literature in the genre. >> host: let me

successful film—making components and illustrates it with examples from films made by women, not hitchcocknt and it's hugely enjoyable. this is 40 chapters and 14 hours long, but it's worth it. you can find some of the films on the bfi player where woman makes film will be available from may 18, as well as on other streaming services and dvd. now, for cassandro, the exotico! from french documentary maker marie losier. her fly—on—the—wall camera follows the eccentric somebody mexican her fly—on—the—wall camera follows the eccentric flamboyant mexican wrestling beyond the ring and into the dressing room. marie losier has a background in the art world and brings a painterly style to this film. the cross—dressing star squeezes into spandex costumes to put on a show, he gets to cover his scars in both the literal and emotional sense of the word. i've been hurt and beat up because i was labelled gay or exotico. we learn about his broken bones and the many pins in his body. and witness him preparing for yet another operation. still, our luchadora goes back into the wrestling ring. he tells of abu

the result may be massively contrived, but there is a touch of hitchcock like magic in the way the storytvjournalist stock in trade of mike wallace, the american tv journalist who stock in trade of mike wallace, the american tvjournalist who became infamous for his hard—hitting interviews on shows like 60 minutes and his life and times are chronicled in the documentary mike wallace is here. there is a new billionaire in town. trump is the name. donald trump is a swashbuckler. donald, you are in your late 30s, you have 40 years to live, minimum. well, i hope you are right about that not what you going to do? there are a lot of things. a fertile imagination and a good fertile imagination and a good fertile mind, it is amazing what you can do. there is so much to be done. politics? no, not politics. starting out as a cheesy tv star, wallace made his mark in the 19505 with night bed, a no hold5 barred interview 5how night bed, a no hold5 barred interview show that was ahead of time. you are not answering the specific question that ipod.. decade later wallace was back in the spotlight on cbs,
