"Suspicion", The Golden Age's Glamour Girls Movie Series
Event Happens: Mar 31, 2010
2 p.m. Southeast Museum of Photography's Madorsky Theater, 1200 International Speedway Blvd., Building 1200, Daytona Beach. Dir: Alfred Hitchcock (USA, 1941) 99 min. Repeated viewings can't dispel the shock of the final scene in this classic 1941 romantic mystery--a brief but disorienting confrontation that suddenly inverts the heroine's mounting conviction that she's married a murderer, forcing us to reconsider virtually every scene and line of dialogue that's preceded it. It's a masterful coup de grace for director Alfred Hitchcock, who has built a puzzle around the corrosive power of suspicion, threaded with deft ambiguities that toy with dramatic conventions and character archetypes in nearly every frame. Cary Grant is irresistible and sinister, capable of deceit and petty theft, as well as grander designs on his bride's impending fortune. Why not enjoy lunch at Daytona State College's Cafe' 101 and follow up with a comfortable seat in the theater for this interesting and entertaining film and audience discussion/question and answer period at the end. Film admission by donation. Movie and meal at Cafe' 101 available separately. (386) 506-3859 for Cafe' 101 reservations. (386) 506-4475 for movie.
