O
Hitchcock
(Continued)
I can't even stand suspense. But
everyone loves it, so I.give it to them.
I've learned one thing about people
since I made my first thriller, "The
Lodger," about Jack the Ripper: if
there is anything movie-goers like
more than being scared, it is to conquer
their fears. Obviously you can't give
them one without the other.
However, I'm not a believer in
valence. I've never made a picture
about criminals, gangsters, or thugs.
I don't like to show a murder being
committed, unless it's with a frozen
leg of lamb or by drinking a harmless
looking glass of milk.
It's not only because I detest violence,
but because I feel that an approach
by suggestion is much more powerful
, than what you can show on the screen.

MASTER OF A MODERN "TORTURE CHAMBER!"
HE'S ONE OF THE ATLAS AUTOMOTIVE SPECIALISTS, A GROUP OF "MASTER TORTURERS"
WHOSE WORD IS LAW IN DECIDING WHETHER A PRODUCT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR CAR
When you drive down today's super-highways, it's
comforting to know your Atlas Tires, Battery or
Accessories have passed shattering tests like the
"tire rupture test" shown below.
Called by many "the toughest critics in the
world," Atlas Automotive Specialists design and
develop Atlas products, then subject them to ex
haustive tests in the laboratory and on the road.
These experts actually set performance standards
for Atlas Tires higher than for the tires that came
on your new car! They insist Atlas Tires have
extra traction, skid-resistance and mileage built
in, or they will not-pass them. Best news of all
you pay no more than for ordinary tires!
