Alma Reville Remembered in the 2012 Biopics ‘Hitchcock’ and ‘The Girl’

[edit]

An article on Alma Reville in the New York Times: Alfred Hitchcock’s Secret Weapon Becomes a Star (Hitchcock and The Girl Remember Alma Reville) by John Anderson, New York Times 16 November 2012. Asteriks (talk) 14:04, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why not Alma Hitchcock?

[edit]

How come she kept her maiden name after their marriage? Thanks, Maikel (talk) 01:09, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In Alma Hitchcock: The Woman Behind the Man (page 53), her daughter says "Incidentally, Alma never changed her last name even after her marriage to Daddy, because she was already professionally established as Alma Reville. She wanted to avoid any confusion". Davepattern (talk) 13:15, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

[edit]

Hey, great job on this page. There's a huge amount of information here and Alma's importance to film history is made very clear, well done. The only notes I would add as far as criticism are just that firstly you have a lot of long paragraphs with only one citation at the end or occasionally no citation at all, and that's fine occasionally but with the amount of information packed into those paragraphs you should be citing individual pieces of information rather than the whole paragraph as one. The other thing is that it seems to me like having a list of her screenwriting credits and then a second set of lists of the same films just divided by whether or not she cowrote them with her husband seems unnecessary, you probably just need one or the other. I'd also say that some of your comments are presenting some stuff that's probably interpretation of her work as fact and maybe you'd be better off phrasing some of the stuff a little differently towards the end to keep the piece from seeming biased.

That's all though, great job! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itsamadmadmadmadmax (talkcontribs) 04:58, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
