First published in 1988, The Women Who Knew Too Much remains a classic work in film theory and criticism. Modleski's analysis of Hitchcock and women has become an essential reference for students and scholars, and one of the most widely cited works in film studies. Revised and updated to reflect the latest scholarship, the book consists of a theoretical introduction and analysis of seven important films by Hitchcock, each providing a basis of an analysis of the female spectator, the function of female characters, and other elements of both narrative and viewer response. This new edition also includes a chapter considering the last fifteen years of Hitchcock criticism as it relates to ideas in this landmark book. Written by a leading feminist critic, this new edition of a valued text will be of great interest to students of film studies, gender studies and cultural studies.
