What was the name of the book Nicole was reading when she was in bed? It was something about Alfred Hitchcock

I think it was something like a "Alfred Hitchcock presents" sort of thing. I don't believe Hitchcock to have written any books.
I can do anything I want to Baby, I ain't lost
Its called Le revue du suspence, and yep its a Hitchcock
shareHitchcock put out several compilations of short suspense/mystery stories under his "Alfred Hitchcock presents" series. I assumed it was something like that.
pretty ironic that Nicole's reading it when someone breaks into her house and its a 'scary' moment for her because she goes to investigate.
sharePlus it provides the opportunity for the absolutely most cute moment in the film - when she hides beneath the covers. And it extends the suspense for us - she brushes off the danger because she assumes that reading the book has made her over fearful. A common occurence - we've all been there - but the audience knows that there really IS something to be scared of! Great writing.
shareI wouldn't particularly be scared if Peter O'Toole broke into MY house...but that's just me...

It depends. Would it be the Peter O'Toole of this movie? Or him as General Tanz, Eli Cross or Jack Gurney?
He's a peeler, 417, come to arrest the Zulus!
My grandfather has a couple of books--suspense/horror anthologies for which Hitchcock selected the stories. This one has some really great stuff in it:

It's called "Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories that Scared Even Me."
