I just read this article by Ken Mogg about Theodore Price's book, "Superbitch!" and it raises many issues around Hitchcock's films, some of which I find wild and unsupportable but fascinating nonetheless. However, it was Price's interpretations regarding the film, "Rebbecca" (1941 - Best Picture AA) I find the most interesting as I have never heard this analysis applied to the film.

I intend to see the film (again) and post a review here later. Merry Christmas.... watching old movies this week and some new ones tomorrow.
