all day: Movies

Two of Alfred Hitchcock’s best films--”Rear Window” and “Vertigo”--will screen at the New Beverly for three days. The two films are often lumped together because of the Hitchcock-James Stewart combination, but they represent two very different Hitchcocks. “Rear Window,” although suspenseful, is light, comic and romantic, while “Vertigo” is dark, obsessive and anti-romantic. The two leading ladies, respectively, are Grace Kelly and Kim Novak.

From dramatic depictions of thunderstorms at sea to lush floral compositions, the paintings of 19th century American artist Martin Johnson Heade show a vibrant landscape painter engrossed with his surroundings.
