Alfred Hitchcock Retrospective

Overview

Long before Gone Girl started stirring up controversy, one man made a name for himself scandalising moviegoers time and time again. Over a career that spanned more than half a century, Alfred Hitchcock directed some of the most divisive, talked-about thrillers in the history of motion pictures. And for the next four weeks, The Astor is bringing a selection of them back to the silver screen.

Hosted over four consecutive Sundays, the seven-picture retrospective kicks off with a screening of Suspicion paired with the director's out-of-character marital comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith (not the one you're thinking of.) Saboteur and Rope plays on November 2, followed by The Trouble with Harry and The Man Who Knew Too Much a week later. The series wraps up with a single feature showing of the classic mistaken identity tale North by North West. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and get acquainted with The Master of Suspense.
