“Christina Lane’s Phantom Lady is a revelation. Even for those of us who thought we knew Hitchcock backwards and forwards, the surprise is how deeply intertwined Harrison and Hitchcock were, making a creative trio with the also-essential Alma. I was stunned at how early Joan Harrison came on board, how crucial she was in the evolution of the iconic Hitchcock blonde, and how smart she was both on the script level and in handling the sometimes-crass behavior of the man.  Lane corrects what we now see as the monumentally biased biographies that minimized Joan’s contribution. And did I mention it’s a riveting read!”
