I was an uncommonly unattractive young man<\/em> – Alfred Hitchcock<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tippi Hedren, Grace Kelly, Kim Novak, Eva Marie Saint – the filmmaker\u2019s heroines, like the publications about them, are innumerable. Few words however, to outline the men who punctuate his films. Prey to vertigo, suicide, murder, Hitchcock\u2019s men do not know what to make of themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worried or worrying,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

fake three-buttons, school-less preppies in club ties and leather-buttoned blazers, the young men: John Dall\u2019s grey-blue stripe, Ray Milland\u2019s end-on-end, Anthony Perkins\u2019 smile<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eerie hyper-dandyism, windsor knot, a flannel too soft to be true, the crooks: Peter Lorre\u2019s thick corduroy, Robert Walker\u2019s lobster tie, Cary Grant\u2019s double-breasted pinstripe [cum glass of milk]\n\n\n\n

mother-of-pearl buttons, bead of sweat, tall figure, soft collar and utilitarian costume of the man on the run: James Stewart\u2019s green V-neck, Gregory Peck\u2019s unlined shirt, Laurence Olivier\u2019s knit tie, Cary Grant\u2019s fresco suit [again]\n\n\n\n

tweed, charcoal flannel, dry fabrics, real three-buttons, thickness without bulk of the man in the know – maturity: Paul Newman\u2019s raglan, James Stewart\u2019s sky-blue pyjama, Sean Connery\u2019s herringbone, Cary Grant\u2019s gun club [last one, pinky-swear].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
