In director Sacha Gervasi’s Hitchcock, in cinemas January 10, Helen Mirren is Alma Reville – Alfred Hitchcock’s wife and, it turns out, crucial collaborator on his classic works, including the seminal shocker Psycho. As the film shows, Alma was an important part of Hitchock’s working life, telling him the truth no matter how successful he became. Hitchcock tracks the behind-the-scenes dramas during the making of that groundbreaking film and sheds some light on Alma’s pivotal role in her famous husband’s working life. “She was someone who was absolutely proactive in the creation of the work, I think. Not to take the ultimate ownership away from Hitchcock, but Hitchcock himself said, and many other people said, ‘There are four hands on making a Hitchcock movie and two of them were Alma’s’,” Mirren explained. Alma and Alfred’s daughter, Patricia Hitchcock O’Connell, penned a book about her mother (Alma Hitchcock: The Woman Behind the Man) which became Mirren’s number one source material in bringing this fascinating behind-the-scenes character to life. “Alma herself was very content. I think she saw it as a partnership, as a true partnership, and she knew her role in that partnership. In knowing and being confident in the truth of that, she didn’t particularly feel the need to publicise it,” she said. HELEN MIRREN: Plays Alfred’s supportive wife and creative sounding board in Hitchcock. “She knew part of the attraction of the brand, if you like, of Hitchcock’s who plays the titular role, have worked someone and finally you relax.
