Abstract

Reviews a scholarly study (Kleine, 1996, 256p, DM38.00) which is subtitled "A Study of the Relationship Between Film, Music, and Sex" and is written from what is described as a feminist or gender studies viewpoint. Reports that the thesis is advanced that musical rhetoric serves to illuminate relationships between the sexes as well in the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Finds much of interest in the book for film music specialists.
