When Ingrid Bergman first came to Hollywood, David O. Selznick proposed to alter her appearance, thinning her eyebrows, changing her hair color, etc., as was usually done by studios in that era. Bergman refused staunchly, thus retaining her natural looks.

Hitchcock understands better than any other director that love and sex can be far more terrifying than gunshots and creatures in the dark.

Hitchcock makes it quite clear that Father Logan is a Christ-like figure, most notably during the scene where he goes walking through the streets. He is presented in a long shot, with a statue of Christ carrying the cross while being flanked by two guards.

It’s Hitchcock’s single best shot, a shot that establishes a scene, sets a tone, builds suspense and communicates plot all in one moment. Small figures in the giant floor. But the camera keeps closer, placing her in the center of this gigantic party.

A chinchilla coat valued at $25,000 was loaned to appear in Rebecca's closet. Nobody actually wears it in the movie. It is one of the items Mrs. Danvers shows to the second Mrs. de Winter. Rebecca (1940) #Hitchcock

A stranger appears at the door, newly emerged from the fog that signals the announcement of a free room. In few minutes Hitchcock has already created an oppressive and dark climate that dominates the entire film and that even today is quite disturbing.

Working with Jessica Tandy was just celestial. A consummate actress. Just watching her working was just thrilling. Absolutely thrilling. And what a beautiful person she was, not just physically but just, you know, really considerate and fun. Tippi Hedren.

'North by Northwest' credits are a sign that there is nothing at random in Hitchcock. They anticipate that the film will be chaotic, pure movement and also, a game in several directions.

Marnie is a kleptomaniac who moves from town to town stealing from her employers. Hitchcock’s use of feminine imagery (purses, hair, shoes, gloves), is striking and makes for a nice contrast to the idea of Marnie upturning the patriarchy through her crimes
