From the Mount Holly Town Library

The Mount Holly Town Library is happy to host our next Vermont Humanities Council program, ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE ART OF SUSPENSE.  The event will be held at the Library, located at 26 Maple Hill Road in Belmont on Sunday, April 26th at 4:00 p.m.

Film expert Rick Winston will present a program celebrating the career and legacy of famed film director Alfred Hitchcock.  Winston will discuss the evolution of Hitchcock's craft, exploring his favorite themes, his relationship with his collaborators, and his wry sense of humor no matter how grisly the subject matter.  By drawing on twelve film clips, starting with his 1925 silent The  Lodger and continuing through to his Hollywood classics such as Notorious and Rear Window, Winston will illuminate the arc of Hitchcock's brilliant career.

Free, accessible to people with disabilities, and open to the public.  Refreshments will be served.  Please contact Joan McCallum at (802) 259-2318 for information.

A thriller romance about a man in London who tries to help a counter-espionage agent prevent an organization of spies called The 39 Steps from stealing top secret information.  When the agent is killed and he stands accused of the murder, he goes on the run with an attractive woman to save himself and stop the spy ring.  The British Film Institute ranked 39 STEPS the fourth best British film of the 20th century!!
