List #30: Nine Hitchcock Films Starring Non-Blondes, Part 1 of 2


Alfred Hitchcock made some films that didn't involve Grace Kelly. It's true!


1. The Lady Vanishes (1938) (Rec. #225)

Non-blonde: Margaret Lockwood

What she's trying to do: Prove she's not crazy by figuring out how that nice old lady on the train disappeared.

Train dining cars are the best places for sleuthin'


2. Rebecca (1940)

Non-blonde: Joan Fontaine

What she's trying to do: Compete with the memory of her husband's glamorous, tragic first wife.

Does it feel like someone's watching you?


3. Suspicion (1941)

Non-blonde: Joan Fontaine, again

What she's trying to do: Avoid the troubling idea that her husband might be trying to kill her.


Cary Grant, lurking menacingly. As usual


4. Shadow of a Doubt (1943) (Rec. #78)

Non-blonde: Teresa Wright

What she's trying to do: Not get murdered by her formerly beloved uncle.

I wouldn't take that hand if I were you


5. Spellbound (1945) (Rec. #185)

Non-blonde: Ingrid Bergman

What she's trying to do: Prove that a handsome amnesiac isn't a murderer.

I don't know how she gets her hair to do that
