"Blackmail" and "Vertigo" ( Alfred Hitchcock )

From the Paper:

"Alfred Hitchcock made Blackmail as his first sound feature in 1929, and Vertigo in 1958 during his most creative period. The two films share certain characteristics in terms of the way the filmmaker presents women and in the relationships the female characters have with the male characters in the two works, and indeed these same elements and approaches can be found in many Hitchcock films made between the two. Tania Modleski links Hitchcock's works specifically to sexual violence in her feminist analysis of his works, and she cites other critics on the subject when she writes:

In film studies, Hitchcock is often viewed as the archetypal misogynist, who invites his audience to indulge their most sadistic fantasies against the female (Modleski 17)."
