"- what Hitchcock accounted for you in the mid-fifties, when he began to write that essay?
- Hitchcock embodied one of my most cherished ideas: that the film is organized as a shape in space, a shape that is the illustration of an idea secret, hidden, which determines all the work. Speaking of me, I think I represent also the point of view of Claude Chabrol, who wrote that book in 1957, and in general the group Hitchcock defended in Cahiers du cinéma. "
Extracted from an interview with Eric Rohmer by Antoine de Baecque on June 13, 2008, included in the foreword of the book published in 2010 by Editorial Manantial Argentina, "Hitchcock" .

“Hitchcock”, cuyo título original en la primera edición (Paris: Éditions Universitaires, 1957) fue “Hitchcock: sus primeras 44 películas”, incluye un interesante prólogo con la entrevista realizada el 13 de Junio de 2008 a Éric Rohmer por Antoine de Baecque. En dicha entrevista, Rohmer, a sus 88 años, expresaba su deseo de incluir su artículo “La hélice y la idea”, posterior a the book's publication in the following reissues of the little book written with his partner Claude Chabrol:
"" As for his 1957 book, how they divided the work between Chabrol and you?" The propeller and the idea "is an impassioned speech published in No. 93 the journal Cahiers du Cinema in March 1959 from the Hitchcock film 45th, Vertigo (1958), and finally included in the reprint of 2010 as the epilogue of an essential work of Hitchcock and copyright policy. Rohmer
-Chabrol wrote about the English period and the first American films, I, on the latest American films from Rope (rope / Festin diabolical, 1948) to The Wrong Man (The Wrong Man / The Wrong Man, 1956). In my opinion, this little book is missing a single text, I wrote about Vertigo (Vertigo, 1958), "The propeller and the idea," published in Cahiers du Cinéma in March 1959, which would be as accurate conclusion of my admiration for Hitchcock. I would then that, from now on, new editions of this book ends with the text, but has not been in the original version. "
also refers in the interview of the prologue, the distribution of trials both authors on the 44 early Hitchcock films covered in the book. Thus, Chabrol wrote the whole period British and American first Hitchcock Films, and Rohmer would focus on the period from La Soga (Rope, 1948), to Wrong Man (The Wrong Man, 1956) with the inclusion of the epilogue on Vertigo.
Revisited, therefore, to Hitchcock in its British and American stage, with our choice and timely screening of two of the most admired films by Chabrol and Rohmer, The Lady Vanishes and Vertigo from the essential published essays in "Hitchcock." Thus, from the division announced in its preface, with the projection of Vanishes (The Lady Vanishes, 1938) critical we honor the particular version of Claude Chabrol on the early master of suspense had much influence in his role as director. In turn, the projection of Vertigo (Vertigo, 1958) " offer our unique tribute to Rohmer's work as an essayist, from his speech " the propeller and the idea, "and epilogue end of the first half of the cycle.
