Hitchcock’s struggles with Hollywood divas and his waistline revealed in new exhibition - Telegraph:

In the letter written to the film director Adrian Brunel, a friend and one of his earliest champions, Hitchcock hinted at the actresses demanding behaviour, disclosing that they were a “handful” to deal with.

From his Munich hotel room, he wrote: “My dear Adrian, I expect that you have given up all hope of ever hearing from me, that is to say if you ever did want to.

"However, when I tell you that I haven’t written to my own mother but twice since I have been away, you will see how I am entirely concentrated on The Pleasure Garden. Of course you have heard that I have two stars under my banner - quite a handful as a matter of fact.”
