Alfred Hitchcock's first dark-haired leading lady is the topic of this week's video. Unlike his famous blondes, Lillian Hall-Davis is neither a conniving temptress nor a target of violence. She's the lead of two of his more atypical offerings, a sports drama and a romantic comedy. In both films, she plays a sweet, truly decent character but, true to the times in which the films were made, she's never the protagonist. But she makes a tremendous object of affection.
So take a break from the blondes and join me as we talk about the woman at the center of a Hitchcockian love triangle...
