Throughout a career spanning over 50 years and more than 50 movies, director Alfred Hitchcock returned time and again to a single figure: the "Hitchcock Blonde."
Cool and composed, icy and elegant, she became his favorite obsession. Under Hitchcock's gaze, she is desired, pursued, and reshaped.
Join us at the Lincoln Theatre for four films which spotlight the quintessential Hitchcock Blonde archetype.

May 26: Vertigo
Hired to follow an old friend's wife, retired policeman Scottie Ferguson (James Stewart) becomes dangerously entangled with Madeleine Elster (Kim Novak), a mysterious woman haunted by the past.
What begins as simple surveillance soon spirals into something far more consuming.
Kim Novak's blonde is the ultimate Hitchcock illusion: elegant, distant, and impossibly controlled image onto which desire is projected.
"Alfred Hitchcock tops his own fabulous record for suspense with Vertigo, a super-tale of murder, madness and mysticism." —Jack Moffitt, The Hollywood Reporter
