You are invited back into the Talking Hitchcock screening room! Join creator and host, Hitchcock enthusiast Rebecca McCallum with special guest - historian, author, scholar and leader in historic preservation and the study of American architecture -Christine Madrid French-to talk about her must-have book- The Architecture of Suspense-The Built World in the Films of Alfred Hitchcock.

Christine discusses her fantastic book, how architecture impacts upon our psychology and what she terms ‘the mystical Hitchcock’ as well as sharing insights on key moments and themes relating to architecture in Hitchcock’s films. She also shares EXCLUSIVE!! NEVER DISCUSSED BEFORE FINDINGS in her research relating to the Uncanny Valley and two key locations in Vertigo (1958)-the Legion of Honour and the Empire Hotel. I conclude by putting some listener questions to Christine about architecture in Hitchcock’s films.
