Dial M for Murder
70TH ANNIVERSARY!
1954 | 105 min. | Color | DCP
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Cast: Ray Milland, Grace Kelly, and Robert Cummings
Though shot on 3-D cameras, this film was ultimately released in most theaters in 2-D due to the public’s loss of interest in the technology. Of course, Hitchcock only ever needed two dimensions to thrill us, and he proves that point again here with a cracking yarn about a man who discovers his wife’s affair and cooks up a plan to have her murdered.
Rope
1948 | 80 min. | Color | DCP
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Cast: James Stewart, John Dall, and Farley Granger
Hitchcock’s first use of Technicolor and his representation of real-time continuity through one (not quite) continuous shot marks an intriguing detour in the director’s career. Jimmy Stewart stars as a prep-school housemaster who may have inspired his students to murder in this adaptation of a play inspired by the real-life story of Leopold and Loeb.
