No writer is, Mike. Except for some slavish film critics. And
perhaps a few writer-directors. Hitchcock never seemed to buy
it himself, even though he apparently took a hand in the
scripts in the films he directed (if, for example, Evan
Hunter's experience on THE BIRDS is not unusual).

how Patricia complained about how the movie of her book
was referred to as "Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train." My
guess would be that she wasn't a big fan of the auteur
philosophy.
