The Hitchcock Gays

Episode 4: Joan Fontaine vs. The Lesbians


Listen Later

What are the odds that actress Joan Fontaine would be menaced by queers in two back-to-back Hitchcock films? In this episode, we shine a light on Alfred Hitchcock's most prominent lesbian characters in Rebecca (1940) and Suspicion (1941). We also find butch and sapphic themes in his lesser-known silent films Champagne (1928) and Easy Virtue (1927).
