SUMMER’S END
CINEMA CELEBRATION
This Hitchcock classic, about a New York ad man framed for murder, takes full advantage of the era’s VistaVision film format with its thrilling, wide-screen chase scenes and glamorous closeups of stars Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. Nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Film Editing, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Screenplay, the film celebrates its 65th anniversary this year. Blink and you might miss the Hudson River views out the window of the swanky 20th Century Limited bound for Chicago.
“One of Hitchcock’s most entertaining American thrillers.” — Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
“Grant’s technique, so well established, shines brightly under Hitchcock’s guidance. The two seem completely en rapport in movie making. Miss Saint, effective in her former sweet or drab roles, makes the switch to glamour as a lovely Mata Hari type.” — John L. Scott, The Los Angeles Times
