Easy Virtue

Easy Virtueoffers Hitchcock’s favorite theme ‘the wrong man’, judged guilty by society and forced to become an outsider. Larita is accused with infidelity by his drunkard husband. Because of her love affair she is now a disgraced woman. She leaves town for the French Riviera to rebuild her life. After a while she meets and marries a rich younger man named John Whittaker. Although she doesn’t tell him about her past, his mother strongly disapproves of her and suspects Larita of immorality. Hitchcock’s imaginative play with point-of-view and flashbacks shows his impressive narrative talent.
