Symphony Space is presenting a very different kind of Alfred Hitchcock festival this summer, a rather odd grouping of seven of the suspense master’s films that includes four of his lesser-seen later works alongside a trio of classics. What’s the catch? All seven of the films are being shown, for the first time ever, in high-definition on the big screen. On Saturdays and Sundays through September 5, you can experience such Hitchcock faves as REAR WINDOW (1954), VERTIGO (1958), and THE BIRDS (1963) like you never have before; meanwhile, you will also be able to check out TOPAZ (1969), THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY (1955), FRENZY (1972), and TORN CURTAIN (1966) very likely for the first time. The seven films, which are among the final fourteen Hitch made (between 1954 and 1976), offer an unusual look at the British director, known for his onscreen appearances and offscreen obsessions that often made their way onto celluloid.
