Join us for two weeks of danger, romance, and dazzling cinematic style. Award-winning author and documentarian Steven C. Smith hosts the showing of two classic thrillers; a Q&A will follow each screening. Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains turn love into a dangerous game in Alfred Hitchcock's seductive spy thriller. When a woman infiltrates a Nazi ring in Brazil, romance and duty collide in a masterclass of suspense, deception, and unbearable tension. Steven C. Smith is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker and award-winning author. His over 200 documentaries include collaborations with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Julie Andrews, and Sidney Poitier. His latest book is Hitchcock and Herrmann: The Friendship and Film Scores That Changed Cinema. This program is made possible by a generous gift from Rancho Mirage Library Foundation Board Member Christine Hughes and Abe Ostrovsky.
