Alma Lucy Reville, Lady Hitchcock (14 August 1899 – 6 July 1982) was an English film director, screenwriter, and editor. She is best known for her work with Alfred Hitchcock, whom she married in 1926.〔 ==Life and work== She was born in Nottinghamshire, England, the second daughter of Matthew Edward and Lucy Reville (née Owen). She is best known as the wife and collaborator of Sir Alfred Hitchcock, whom she met while they were working together at Paramount's Famous Players-Lasky studio in London, during the early 1920s. A talented editor, Alma worked on British films with such directors as Berthold Viertel and Maurice Elvey, though her main focus was her husband’s work. Cinema was the couple's passion. She converted to Roman Catholicism from Protestantism before their marriage.〔Adair, Gene. ''Alfred Hitchcock: Filming Our Fears.'' Oxford University Press, 2002. ISBN 0-19-511967-3〕 Alma was just one day younger than her husband. They married on 2 December 1926 at Brompton Oratory in London. Their daughter Patricia Hitchcock was born on 7 July 1928. Alma became Hitchcock's collaborator and sounding board, with a keen ear for dialogue and an editor's sharp eye for scrutinising a film's final version for continuity flaws so minor they had escaped Hitchcock's own notice and that of his crew. It was Reville who noticed Janet Leigh inadvertently breathing after her character's fatal encounter with Norman Bates' mother in ''Psycho'' (1960), necessitating an alteration to the negative. Alma Reville died at the age of 82, two years after Hitchcock's death. She is buried in Los Angeles, California. She was played by Imelda Staunton in ''The Girl'' (2012),〔 and by Helen Mirren in ''''Hitchcock'''' (2012).〔 Staunton was nominated for a BAFTA and a Primetime Emmy for her performance, while Mirren was nominated for a BAFTA, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alma Reville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
