Fun fact: Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest features prominently in the Museum of Sex. I’ll let you guess which scene is on display.
I’ve been sort of keeping this event in my back pocket, waiting for the movie I liked to roll around. Hitchcocktober at the Angelika has been going on since the beginning of the month, and there’s one more Thursday left after this. But tonight is Rear Window, starring the inimitable Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart as the ultimate voyeur. From Stewart’s imaginative Peeping Tom, we get “Miss Lonelyhearts,” “Miss Torso,” and a potential murderer. This is a popular event, since the screening is free. Go early to get a seat. Now that temperatures have dropped, you might want to bundle up. And if a friend hears strange noises during the night–any night–be sure to ask if they would describe the sound as “Hitchcockian.”
Meanwhile, if you’d planned to see Ages of the Moon at the Undermain Theatre (and you should, according to our own Lance Lusk), you can win tickets to tonight’s 7:30 p.m. performance. We’ve got a last-minute giveaway over on FrontRow. Why enter? Sam Shepard is a playwright worth your time, and the Undermain has consistently delivered excellent productions of under-produced and difficult works.
