"Corber's argument is at once clear and rich. He makes clear that Hitchcock's films engage fundamental issues of sexuality and gender identity, and he also makes clear that these issues are in dialogue with the process of ideological struggle, including the mobilization of homophobia, in which Cold War Liberalism won its powerful place in the 1950s. The richness comes in the contexts Corber provides from that struggle and in the lucid imagination with which he reconceptualizes very famous films in relation to those contexts."--Jonathan Arac
