Good evening....

Alfred Hitchcock is front and center this week at the American Cinematheque and Film Independent at LACMA.

The Cinematheque's "With a Hitch: New, 70mm, 3-D & TV Hitchcock" series continues Thursday with a 98th birthday tribute at the Egyptian to the extraordinary actor-director-producer Norman Lloyd. As an actor, he appeared in Hitch's 1942 classic "Saboteur" and 1945's "Spellbound" and then became an associate producer on TV's "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" anthology series.

Besides talking about his colorful life, Lloyd will be screening five episodes of the series in which he was involved: 1964's "The Jar," 1960's "Man From the South" and 1961's "Incident in a Small Jail," (he directed these episodes), as well as 1960's "The Little Man Who Was There" and 1961's "Maria," in which he appeared.

The Cinematheque's Aero will also be be screening the digitally restored 3-D version of "Dial M for Murder," Thursday evening.

Sacha Gervasi, the director of the new movie "Hitchcock," which opens Nov. 23, will be on hand to screen and talk about the film chronicling the making of "Psycho" on Saturday evening at the Egyptian. The second film is of course the original, 1960's "Psycho." http://www.americancinematheque.com
