Summary
Cleverly intertwining three stories concerning film director Alfred Hitchcock, Hitchcock Blonde sees Alex, a media tutor suffering from a mid-life crisis, invite one of his students to Greece to examine a long-lost film fragment that Hitchcock made in 1919. Meanwhile, in 1959, Hitch is auditioning Blonde, an actress, for the shower scene of his film Psycho, and finally, the lost film is recreated, arguably explaining the director's obsession with persecuted blondes.
