Debbie Olson 
Children in the Films of Alfred Hitchcock [PDF ebook] 

Support

Children and youth perform both innocence and knowingness within Hitchcock’s complex cinematic texts. Though the child often plays a small part, their significance – symbolically, theoretically, and philosophically – offers a unique opportunity to illuminate and interrogate the child presence within the cinematic complexity of Hitchcock’s films.
