The Plano Angelika has declared October "Hitchcocktober." I strongly caution against following suit, unless you want to sound like an idiot, but the theater is using its declaration as an excuse to show some pretty good Hitchcock movies every Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. 10/2: Vertigo. 10/9: Rear Window. 10/16: Psycho. 10/23: The Birds. 10/30: Dial M For Murder. |

Shucks. I would love to have the opportunity to see "Notorious" or "The 39 Steps" in a theatrical setting. "Casablanca" was released the year in which I was born so, although I have seen it well over 100 times in various forms on various television screens, my most fondly remembered viewing was the night I saw it at the old Glen Lakes Theater. I saw all the Hitchcock films being shown in this festival in their original theatrical runs -- now I would relish the opportunity to see some of his earlier films the same way.

Yes. I rushed out to catch the re-release of Vertigo at the North Park about ten years ago and was very glad I did. The masters should be seen on the big screen whenever possible.

While I'm thrilled with this little Hitchcock festival, I wish they would have shown some of his earlier/less well known work. I second the earlier suggestion of The 39 Steps and would add Foreign Correspondent, Lifeboat and Shadow of a Doubt (the one I really want to see and haven't yet). I am very glad they aren't showing North by Northwest, which I think gets elevated to greatness at the cost of his other work. Of course, I'm sure I'll be there to see every one if my schedule will possibly allow.

I highly recommend Shadow of a Doubt. One of Joseph Cotten's finest hours. Thankfully, I have no rap for it.

Lifeboat and Shadow of a Doubt have to be two of my favorite Hitchcock films.
