In 1904, a small boy arrived at a London police station with a note. When read, it instructed the police to lock young Alfred Hitchcock up, because: "That's what we do to naughty boys." The boy would grow up to become one of the most significant figures in the birth and growth of film throughout the 20th century, right up until his final picture: Family Plot. This story isn't just his, though—it'a slap about Alma Reville, a teenage prodigy who collaborated on every one of Hitch's films, and it's also about Tippi Hedren, the actress who faced down the dark side of the director's genius.
