So, let’s look today at a topic I’m much more equipped to discuss in a meaningful way—Hitchcock and his leading men. With 61 years under my belt as a man, I feel I’m on terra firma discussing this topic. Hitchcock’s leading men are invariably urbane, sophisticated, well-dressed, and handsome. They are generally unmarried, and find themselves caught up in a web of intrigue, menace, and deceit they can neither understand nor control. They are usually wrongfully accused, frequently have mother issues, and are wary of the police or authority figures of all types.
