Opening 16 January at BFI Southbank and Curzon Mayfair in London, UK - Notorious is one of Hitchcock’s most darkly romantic, disturbing and suspenseful thrillers.

Ingrid Bergman is magnificent as the tough yet vulnerable Alicia Huberman whose father is sentenced to death for treason, leaving her determined to prove her patriotism and atone for his guilt. Cary Grant is devastating as debonair US agent Steven Devlin, who’s torn between his love for Alicia and his distrust of her. She is enlisted to seduce Alex Sebastian (Claude Rains), a sophisticated German expatriate, to find out about his suspected Nazi affiliations. Madly impassioned by Alicia, Sebastian even marries her against the wishes of his tyrannical mother (Leopoldine Konstantin) and before long all three are entangled in a web of constrained desire and cruel deceit…

The release of Notorious coincides with a season of Ingrid Bergman films at BFI Southbank this January, which also features a new print of Hitchcock’s Spellbound. Stay tuned, we will be giving away tickets to one or more of these events soon.

Alfred Hitchcock presented himself as the sole author of his films – as if they were the direct expression of his creative genius. In reality, however, Hitchcock was a deeply collaborative artist, working intensely with actors, producers, cinematographers, screenwriters, editors, and production and sound designers to create what the public knew as "an Alfred Hitchcock film." Through drawings, paintings, storyboards and documents, the exhibition explores this film making process.

"Casting a Shadow" was first presented in 2007 at the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University in Evanston/Illinois. Afterwards it was shown at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles. Many of the exhibits are from their archives. The Museum für Film und Fernsehen will bring this Alfred Hitchcock exhibition to Berlin - it's only stop in Europe - from January 29 to May 5. The show will be augmented by exhibits from the Museum’s own archives, in particular those illuminating Hitchcock’s relationship to Germany and Berlin.

We are proud to present the newly revamped and redesigned HitchcockFans.com! We started Alfred Hitchcock Fans Online a little over two years ago with brave aspirations and high goals. Thanks to you we have had a successful two years, becoming the number one fan site dedicated to Alfred Hitchcock.

AHFO2.0 improves upon many of the old site's flaws. We have created a simpler and cleaner design to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. Our new film pages dynamically pull from what is now one of the largest databases about Alfred Hitchcock and his films.

As way of saying 'thank you' to you, the fans who make this site possible, we will be offering new features and contests with prizes. We are honored to be a part of this project, and we look forward to the days ahead as we continue our work to create the definitive Alfred Hitchcock website.

Screenwriter John Michael Hayes died last week of natural causes at the age of 89. Hayes wrote some of Hitchcock's most-known films, including Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, and the remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much.

Hayes's work on Rear Window gained him an Academy Award nomination. Hayes was also nominated for an Oscar for writing the 1957 film Peyton Place.

Hayes is survived by two daughters, Rochelle Hayes and Meredyth Hayes Badreau; two sons, Garrett Michael and Corey; and four grandchildren.
