Description

Originally published in 1988, The Women Who Knew Too Much remains a landmark work in film theory and feminist criticism. This third edition by Routledge examines seven essential Hitchcock films through the lens of spectator theory, analysing how female and male audiences engage with female characters whose narratives often challenge the director's cinematic mastery. Author Toni Modleski explores the emotional and psychic investments viewers make in these characters, revealing how their stories subvert traditional power dynamics. The updated edition includes an illuminating interview with the author by David Greven, providing contemporary perspective on feminist film analysis and Hitchcock's complex treatment of gender. Essential reading for film scholars, students of cinema history, and anyone interested in how feminist theory reshapes our understanding of classic Hollywood suspense films.
