Part of the Big Picture: Presenting Alfred Hitchcock film series in July.
For July, Big Picture is proud to bring you a selection of films that highlight the prolific director Alfred Hitchcock. Something new is revealed when you stand his movies up next to each other. His favorite themes and motifs gain depth. His creative development and willingness to experiment is made obvious. You can feel his fussy, finicky control over every frame grow, then strain, then dissipate. The Academy may never have committed to the idea that Alfred Hitchcock was the best director, but he was certainly one of the most directors — his body of work over more than 50 features influenced contemporary film (for better or worse) as much as any other single individual in history. We believe Big Picture is the perfect place to explore all sorts of film connections, and profiling individual artists is a nexus of one sort of connection.
FILM SYNOPSIS: 1h 52m / PG / Drama, Thriller
Photog L. B. Jeffries (James Stewart) is stuck in his apartment while he heals from a broken leg, with the assistance of his girlfriend Lisa (Grace Kelly) and nurse (Thelma Ritter). But a leopard can’t change its spots — the fact that he can’t get around at the moment doesn’t stop him from pointing his peepers at his neighbors. When he begins to suspect his neighbor of killing his wife, that voyeuristic habit threatens to spin him out of control. Can he uncover the truth before he loses everything?
