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 12: Dial M for Murder
The marriage between former tennis star Tony Wendice (Ray Milland) and his wealthy wife Margot (Grace Kelly) is the perfect union except for one little thing: Tony is plotting to kill Margot and take her fortune for his own.
When the plan goes awry, what follows is a tense battle of wits, as suspicion shifts and the truth proves elusive.
Margot is the Hitchcock Blonde at her most imperiled: poised, elegant, and in a tremendous amount of danger.
Projected in 3-D, as Hitchcock intended!
"Grace Kelly reaches out into the audience for murder scissors; foreground tea tables all but clonk your knees; a tell-tale door key - how many Hitchcock revelation moments feature those! - is brandished inches from your nose." —Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times
