Event Details

Join the Ossining Public Library for screenings of three classic films from the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchock, in beautiful new 4K restorations. Each month from March through May, we will showcase one of Hitchcock's most celebrated works from the height of his career. Author and film critic Marshall Fine will deliver introductions to each film - via video in March and April, and in-person in May, when he will also be present for a Q+A session after the screening.

Notorious (1946) is a noir-tinged postwar spy thriller starring Ingrid Bergman in the role of a spy's daughter and Cary Grant as the US government agent who tasks her with infiltrating a cell of Nazis hiding out in Latin America. The film is regarded as one of the highlights of Hitchcock's association with legendary Hollywood producer David O. Selznick (Gone With the Wind, Rebecca).

The Bonnie Katz Film Series is an annual event honoring our OPL colleague Bonnie Katz (1952-2021). A librarian and passionate film buff (and a great fan of Hitchcock), Bonnie had a positive spirit and outgoing personality, and was a respected member of our profession and the Ossining community.
