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 5: North by Northwest
When New York advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) is mistaken for a government spy, he's thrust into a cross-country chase involving spies, false identities, and ever-present danger.
As he struggles to clear his name, he meets Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint), an enigmatic blonde whose loyalties remain mysterious.
In Alfred Hitchcock's visually iconic film -- the crop duster! Mount Rushmore! -- Eve stands out not just as the Hitchcock Blonde ideal to be pursued but as an active participant in a world of deception.
"[Cary] Grant's technique, so well established, shines brightly under Hitchcock's guidance. The two seem completely en rapport in movie making. Miss Saint, effective in her former sweet or drab roles, makes the switch to glamour as a lovely Mata Hari type." —John L. Scott, Los Angeles Times, 1959
