Toronto Film Society presents Hitchcock and Friends August 24, 2009

Last Double bill programme for Summer
Sabotage 1936 directed by Alfred Hitchcock with Sylvia Sidney, Oscar Homolka, John Loder
This layered, visually powerful edge-of-your-seat thriller is arguably Hitch's best UK film. As a cinema owner plots to set off a bomb in London, his wife's growing suspicions begins to unveil his monstrous secret life. The tension mounts to a Shakespearean ending brimming with irony. Based on Joseph Conrad's novel, The Secret Agent
The Trouble with Harry 1955 directed by Alfred Hitchcock with Edmund Gwenn, Shirley MacLaine, John Forsythe
Unease lies beneath the joviality and colourful fauna of New England as the irrepressible corpse of Harry causes all sorts of dilemmas for the peaceful inhabitants. Another little see, offbeat black comedy from the master.
End the summer in the dark with Hitchcock. It's "life with the dull bits cut out"
