My first Alfred Hitchock movie was Rear
Window, in which a wheelchair-bound Jimmy Stewart and a very elegant (but
not afraid to get her hands dirty!) Grace Kelly detect a nefarious crime
by spying on the neighbors with binoculars. Disappointingly, my
childhood bedroom did not have many neighbors to spy on within binocular
range. So I branched out to the directors other classic films, from
Psycho to The Birds to Rope (my favorite). I’ve always loved their dark
glamour and noir atmosphere. There is always a plot twist ahead, an
innocent man accused, a mistaken identity, a character with a dark
secret. If you love the feel of a Hitchcock film, here are some thrilling
reads for you.
