The weather is warm, the sun is high in the sky–but don’t let yourself be deceived. There are crooks, murderers, and plenty of weirdos out there to get you, especially if you happen to be a winsome blonde. Find out how you might meet your end in this summer-long series that covers the early years of Alfred Hitchcock’s career; June’s screenings will include The Lady Vanishes, Jamaica Inn, Rebecca, and Rope. It’s worth taking advantage of this rare opportunity to see the icon’s less-famous works on the big screen, where it is easier to pick up on the clues the devious director scattered through his dark tales. Plus, it’s harder to miss his famous cameos–note, however, that he was quite slim in these early years. 309 Oak St. S.E., Minneapolis; 612-331-3134; www.mnfilmarts.org
