Neil Hurley demonstrates Hitchcock's covert preoccupation with spiritual themes—conscience, guilt, false accusation, crises as catalysts of character development, personal romance, the salvation of nations, and the "unjustly accused." This last theme is linked in profound ways to Hitchcock's secular Christ types, who find purpose and undiscovered courage and companionship in having to disprove falsely imputed guilt in I Confess, The Wrong Man, Veritgo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds, Marnie, and Frenzy. (The last three also feature feminine Christ parallels who undergo Passion/Resurrection experiences marked with visual religious clues.)
A Jesuit priest for 33 years, Fr. Neil Hurley, SJ spent 18 years studying abroad. He has written 135 articles and 5 communication books and has taught at Fordham, Notre Dame, the National and Catholic Universities of Santiago de Chile, Florida State Universitym University of San Francisco, Loyola University (New Orleans), and the Cinema/TV School, University of Southern California (1991). In 1963, he founded INSCAPE, devoted to "adding value" to mass culture experiences. Soul in Suspense is such an exercise in "edu-tainment," greater delight through insight.
