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 19: The Birds
A chance visit turns into a nightmare when Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) finds herself trapped in a coastal town under seige by The Birds. With no explanation or escape, the attacks only grow more relentless.
Tippi Hedren, as the Hitchcock Blonde, begins the film as composed as any other, but terror quickly erodes that surface as she's confronted by a threat that can't be reasoned with or controlled.
"Few films depict so eerily yet so meticulously the metaphysical and historical sense of a world out of joint." —Richard Brody, The New Yorker
