Hail to Hitchcock!
- Monday, October 6 - Strangers on a Train
“This 1951 Hitchcock classic readily earns its reputation as one of the director’s finest examples of timeless cinematic suspense. It’s not just a ripping-good thriller but a film student’s delight and a perversely enjoyable battle of wits between tennis pro Guy (Farley Granger) and his mysterious, sycophantic admirer, Bruno (Robert Walker), who proposes a “criss-cross” scheme of traded murders. Bruno agrees to kill Guy’s unfaithful wife, in return for which Guy will (or so it seems) kill Bruno’s spiteful father.” - Amazon.com - Monday, October 13 - Vertigo
“Although it wasn’t a box-office success when originally released in 1958, Vertigo has since taken its deserved place as Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest, most spellbinding, most deeply personal achievement. In fact, it consistently ranks among the top 10 movies ever made in the once-a-decade Sight & Sound international critics poll, placing at number 4 in the most recent survey. (Universal Pictures’ spectacularly gorgeous 1996 restoration and rerelease of this 1958 Paramount production was a tremendous success with the public, too.) James Stewart plays a retired police detective who is hired by an old friend to follow his wife (a superb Kim Novak, in what becomes a double role), whom he suspects of being possessed by the spirit of a dead madwoman. The detective and the disturbed woman fall (”fall” is indeed the operative word) in love and…well, to give away any more of the story would be criminal.” - Amazon.com
