Go see the restored print of 'Shadow of a Doubt' tomorrow night.


"You live in a dream. You’re a sleepwalker, blind. How do you know what the world is like? Do you know the world is a foul sty? Do you know if you ripped the fronts off houses, you’d find swine ? The world’s a hell.
What does it matter what happens in it?”


The UW Cinematheque will be showing the Academy Film Archive's restored print of Alfred Hitchcock's personal favorite movie 'Shadow Of A Doubt' tomorrow night at 8 p.m. As always it will be free. It's one of my own personal favorites and I rank it number one in Hitchcock's top five movies. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity so don't sleep:


Restored print introduced by Mike Pogorzelski (Director of the Academy Film Archive) and Schawn Belston (Director of Film Preservation at Fox)!

Young Charlie (Wright) can't help but notice that something seems off about her beloved Uncle Charlie (Cotton) in this 1943 masterpiece. Loosely inspired by a 1938 fait divers and co-scripted by the great American playwright Thornton Wilder.
