The weekend before National Hitchcock Day will be the 2nd annual Alfred Hitchcock Festival, so save the date! There will be film screenings, food, drinks, and more! Films to be shown over the 3-day festival are Rear Window, North by Northwest, Birds, and Blackmail.
Alfred Hitchcock, or “Hitch” as he called himself to neighbors, lived in Scotts Valley from 1940 to 1970. He called his estate “Heart o’ the Mountain” and entertained many celebrities there such as Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Kim Novak, Grace Kelly (even after she became Princess Grace and brought along the Prince of Monaco), and Robert Cummings who frequently flew his own plane to Skypark for the weekend. Go see why they found this a perfect escape from the pressures of the film industry!
