Book excerpt: "Tania Modleski's The Women Who Knew Too Much has become a classic work in feminist film theory and criticism. By looking at seven important films by Alfred Hitchcock, Modleski considers the emotional and psychic investments of men and women in female characters whose stories often undermine the mastery of the cinematic Master of Suspense." "The Women Who Knew Too Much argues for a richer understanding of films - and Hitchcock's films in particular - as they concern the female spectator as well as the male spectator." "For this edition, Tania Modleski has written a new chapter in which she discusses the last fifteen years of Hitchcock criticism, and the continued struggle for recognition of a feminist perspective on the filmmaker's work."--BOOK JACKET.
