Hitchcock Master Classes with Guillermo del Toro, May 7–16

In addition to the event In Conversation with Kathleen Turner, tonight TIFF Bell Lightbox hosts the first of several master classes with director Guillermo del Toro on the films of Alfred Hitchcock.

The first film he examines will be the 1946 spy thriller Notorious starring Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains (not to be confused with the more recent biopic of the same name by George Tillman Jr. about the life and death of Notorious B.I.G.).

Other films screened in del Toro's master class series will be another spy thriller North by Northwest and the serial killer films Shadow of a Doubt and Frenzy.
