GMOA’s “Hitchcock in Black and White” film series kicks off with Blackmail, a thriller about a London woman who is blackmailed after killing an artist who attempts to rape her. Initially planned to be produced as a silent film, the 1929 classic is Hitchcock’s first “talkie” and was marketed as Britain’s first full-length feature film to synchronize dialogue to a moving image. The screening will be introduced by Dr. Janice Simon, Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Associate Professor of Art History. “Hitchcock in Black and White” will continue with Shadow of a Doubt on Jan. 22, I Confess on Feb. 5 and Spellbound on Feb. 26.
