"You go through your ordinary little day and at night you sleep your untroubled ordinary little sleep filled with peaceful stupid dreams. And I brought you nightmares."-Uncle Charlie, in Shadow of a Doubt"I aim to provide the public with beneficial shocks. Civilization has become so protective that we're no longer able to get our goose bumps instinctively. The only way to remove the numbness and revive our moral equilibrium is to use artificial means to bring about the shock. The best way to achieve that, it seems to me, is through a movie."-Alfred Hitchcock, 1947 news conference.Alfred Hitchcock: Beneficial Shocks is presented in association with the UC Berkeley Film Studies Program Summer Session course taught by Professor Marilyn Fabe.Special PrintsUniversal Hitchcock: We are pleased to present Universal's new 35mm prints of Psycho, Shadow of a Doubt, Rope, Vertigo, Saboteur, The Birds, Marnie, and Frenzy.
