Remembering the wonderful Alida Valli on her birthday. She was brought to Hollywood to be in a now considered “minor” Hitchcock film, The Paradine case, but, in spite of its flaws, I happen to like it a lot. I think her presence is breathtaking in it. This portrait was featured in the bedroom of her character in the film, Mrs. Paradine. What’s your take on the film? Or should I say, have you ever seen it? #alidavalli #theparadinecase #gregorypeck #charleslaughton #AlfredHitchock #hitchcock #oldhollywood #fanart #alejandromogolloart https://www.instagram.com/p/CPiesX2nhF5/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you follow my work, you know I have a thing for portraits appearing in classic movies. I’ve done a few already. This one is special because it belongs to a very underrated Hitchcock film, The Paradine case. It’s always regarded as a lesser effort by the master of suspense but I’ve always loved it. The leading lady, Alida Valli was a Selznick import, after he couldn’t get Garbo for the role. I think Valli, as she was to be featured in publicity ads, was fascinating in a very unlikeable role. Do you like this movie? #alidavalli #valli #theparadinecase #theparadinecase1947 #alfredhitchcock #hitchcock #garbo #moviepaintings #portrait #OldHollywood #fanart #alejandromogolloart https://www.instagram.com/p/B0le9Ylo5PQ/?igshid=1lb8doyvwm4vd
