What they share

Theysit in Crime / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Pale Blue Eye, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Family Plot is

San Francisco. Autumn. A crystal ball. A con-artist medium and her taxi-driver boyfriend pursue a missing person case, stumbling into the orbit of a kidnapping ring. Hitchcock's last film finds him in surprisingly lighthearted mode.
