Show Notes
You are invited back into the Talking Hitchcock screening room for another episode of Hitch Takes where Rebecca explores a specific topic, theory or idea in detail!
Join creator and host, Hitchcock enthusiast Rebecca McCallum as she presents an exclusive theory– ‘Jasper as the Rebecca Stand In’.
Rebecca applies close critical analysis of key scenes in the film in support of this theory whilst also inviting many opportunities for questions around the magnetic and magnificent presence of Rebecca!
The second Mrs de Winter may have arrived, but the first Mrs de Winter is going nowhere-and she might just be manifesting her presence and strength of will, through the silent and ominous Jasper.
