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.
