We are pleased to announce the next Movie Matinee at Beit Knesset Hanassi. On Tuesday, June 17 we will present the multi-award-winning, highly acclaimed film NOTORIOUS.
Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains star in one of Alfred Hitchcock’s very best. Bergman is the daughter of a Nazi but she is loyal to the U.S. She is placed in an extremely dangerous position to spy for the U.S. by Grant who adores her. Will she survive it?
There are superb performances in this edge-of-your-seat thriller by the master of the genre.
Hitchcock made 53 movies, almost every one of them is a brilliant, tense spine-chiller. Many critics and viewers consider Notorious his most thrilling. These individuals share the opinion of Notorious being Hitchcock’s best film with Hitchcock’s only child, his daughter, Patricia. She said it is her favorite of her father’s pictures.
“What a perfect film!” she told her father’s biographer. “The more I see Notorious, the more I like it.”
Claude Rains was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Ben Hecht was nominated for an Academy Award for the Best Original Screenplay.
In 2005, Hecht’s screenplay was voted by two Writers Guilds of America as one of the 101 best ever written. The following year, Notorious was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”. Time magazine listed it among the top 100 films of all-time.
The Movie Matinee is at 2:00. The film is 1¾ hours in length. The film is in English and it has English subtitles.
There will be a brief introduction of the film and a short talk and discussion after the screening. There will be an essay about the movie provided to attendees.
