Alma Reville: in the shadow of Hitchcock?

Alma Reville was Hitchcock’s secret weapon and no one could dispute that she was the key to his meteoric success. But what of her own film career? This illustrated presentation delves into the work of Alma Reville - both with and without her famous husband - from her beginnings in silent film and its evolution through the subsequent decades.
About the speaker: Dr Josephine Botting is a Curator at the BFI National Archive. Her PhD thesis, Adrian Brunel and British Cinema of the 1920s, was published by Edinburgh University Press in 2023.
Piano accompaniment: Mike Nolan
