A Night at the Movies

Jeremy and I love to watch movies. Recently we went through a Hitchcock kick. Soon after we started watching all of these old movies we watched A Night at the Movies – THE SUSPENSEFUL WORLD OF THRILLERS, Thrillers and Hitchcock on Turner Classic Movies.  It was pretty perfect timing since we had seen a lot of the movies they were talking about.  Very interesting if you are a movie fan.

A NIGHT AT THE MOVIES: THE SUSPENSEFUL WORLD OF THRILLERS will explore such topics as the origin of thrillers and development of stylistic conventions; the use of a wrongly accused everyman as a protagonist; the range of female roles, from damsel in distress to femme fatale; the creation of classic villains and the actors who relished playing them; the impact of World War II on the genre; the emergence of more violent thrillers in the 1960s; the rise of the paranoid thriller in the 1970s; and how the genre continues in popularity by latching onto the current zeitgeist.

In December there will be a special on Epic Cinema! Future installments will include looks at other genres. The specials come to TCM from DreamWorks Television, with Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey (Las Vegas, TNT’s Into the West) serving as executive producers.

THE SUSPENSEFUL WORLD OF THRILLERS was written, produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker and author Laurent Bouzereau.
