Thornhill Eva Marie Saint as Eve Kendall James Mason as Phillip Vandamm Jessie Royce Landis as Clara Thornhill Leo G. Carroll as The Professor Josephine Hutchinson as Mrs. Townsend Philip Ober as Lester Townsend Martin Landau as Leonard Crew Director: Alfred Hitchcock Producer: Herbert Coleman and Alfred Hitchcock Writer: Ernest Lehman Editor: George Tomasini Director of Photography: Robert Burks Music: Bernard Herrmann Distribution/Studio Company: Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) MPAA Rating: R (Based on 1984 Re-Release) Running Time: 136 minutes Background and Introduction to North by Northwest Nobody likes to be mistaken for somebody else. Every year that I teach identical twins, I always get them confused and I can’t tell the difference between the two. Whenever I incorrectly identify one, one of the twins gets grossly offended. This misunderstanding is what happens to Roger Thornhill in one of Albert Hitchcock’s masterpieces, North by Northwest. It addresses on ongoing motif in many Hitchcock films: an ordinary, everyday protagonist is placed in extraordinary circumstances. In fact, the film captures the extraordinary in the ordinary. One wouldn’t normally think that a cornfield would be a suspenseful location, and one wouldn’t expect a thrilling chase on a national monument (Well, that is before National Treasure was released, of course). As the title implies, the film is a journey across the America landscape. It begins in the crowded streets of Manhattan and ends at the sculpted outcrops of Mount Rushmore.

  • Combined Financial Statements
    A LET T E R FRO M THE PRESIDENT Dear Academy Member, I never cease to feel pride when I see yet another excellent program at the Academy, whether its focus is retrospective, or educational, or both. What a wonderful and fulfilling year of programs, be it a reunion of the cast of DAMN YAN KE ES, say, or a talk by Oscar-winning writer Robert Towne or an exhibition of animation art from the former Soviet Union. I'm also proud to be an Academy member every time I get a peek into the boxes and file drawers at our Center for Motion Picture Study, and I'm reminded of the millions of photographs, papers, films and other minutiae of movie history preserved there. By now we should all be aware that the Academy works continuously at saving and preserving the history of the art form, and at honoring and remembering that history with programs in our theaters and exhibitions in our galleries. Why do we do it? The answer is found in the people I see attending that Bob Towne lecture, or sitting in the Library doing research, or oohing at the stunning black-and-white George Hurrell photos on display in the Academy Gallery. Many of them are Academy members. Even more aren't. But whether it's a student researching biographical material for a term paper, or a young director of photography learning lessons of light from Hurrell's images, or a veteran member of our Directors Branch basking in the inspired lunacy of a Chuck Jones cartoon short, what they take away from these activities is precisely the point of all our preservation efforts.

Although the average American watches moving images for hours each day, m ost watch uncritically, passively, rarely analyzing how the film works to create meaning and shape opinions. The course is designed to promote an understanding of how film communicates, analyzing the complex network of language systems film employs. The course will enhance the analytical and critical thinking skills of the students, thus helping to prepare them for college. Course Description: Emphasis will be on the various language/sign systems and the spectrum of techniques used by film makers in conveying meaning. The students will improve their critical thinking skills as they develop an understanding of an appreciation for movies representing the realistic, classic, and formalistic traditions, and as they learn to recognize the techniques of a variety of film makers such as Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Josef von Sternberg, Frank Capra, John Huston, and others. Selected films will serve as the point of departure for discussions of the material in each unit. Length of Course: Full Year Grade Level: 11th and 12th Credit: Students who successfully complete the year Number of units 10 long course may elect to receive (1) Visual/Performing Arts credit or (2) fourth year : Meets graduation requirements English elective credit. : Request for UC “a-f” requirements College Prep : Elective Vocational Prerequisites: English 1 and 2 * Students demonstrating an understanding of cinematographic terms, styles, and techniques may be admitted to Semester 2 of the class by teacher permission.
