Talking During The Movies:

Alfred Hitchcock’s Secret Messages

Alfred Hitchcock concealed secret messages in his movies and those of other directors.

The red Moulin Rouge windmill in Paris appears in the first film he made with his future wife, screenwriter Alma Reville. Mills reappear in Foreign Correspondent, Strangers on a Train, and Elvis Presley’s Love Me Tender, an echo of their relationship. In Casablanca by Michael Curtiz, Ilsa represents Alma, while her husband Victor is Hitchcock. They get on that plane together. Elia Kazan, Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester discovered Hitchcock’s secrets, sending angry messages to him in their productions. The book includes a symbolic analysis of Kazan’s infamous blacklisting testimony. With a Reference List at 2.5% of the text, magazine-length articles expose secrets inside classic movies and plays.
