Once again Leamer spins a wonderful book out of the stories of Alfred Hitchcock’s blonde stars. Leamer has woven the story of Hitchcock around these women and the great films in which they starred. Essentially this is a fabulous read for those of us that love film and enjoy the gossipy stories of these fascinating women.

Just as I loved Capote’s Women, I was engaged in these mini-biographies. I especially enjoyed the story of Eva Marie Saint and the filming of North By Northwest. Cary Grant is also included in this memoir.

I enjoy Leamer’s style which combines film history and biography with a dash of social history. I highly recommend this book to all of us who enjoy films and those who made them.

Thank you Netgalley for this incredibly informative and enjoyable book.
