BTW, Palo Alto is halfway between San Francisco & San Jose.
CalTrain, the commuter rail line that runs bwtween the 2 cities, has a stop in Palo Alto that's a 5 minute walk from the theatre.

The Stanford is a beautiful, old, art deco movie palace that shows only classic films.
Worth a visit.

Wish I could see "Woman in the Window".  Leonard Maltin, for one, ranks it highly.  It never aired on TCM when I had cable, and it hasn't been released on DVD last I checked.

I saw Jean Cocteau's "Orphee" at the Stanford Theater ... a modernization of the Orpheus myth that DS also used at the end of the Quentin/Amanda storyline.  Among other great films, I also saw Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" for the first time there.

Leonard Maltin? It's not for good reason that his review show was quickly canceled.    And, please, the man appears on Entertainment Tonight, which, aside from a few good early years, has become television's answer to the National Enquirer. If their promos are any indication, they'll do stories that even E! won't handle!! 

Honestly, almost anyone can call themselves a film critic  - and, yes, even once and a while they're bound to get it right simply by the law of averages.

I know, I know, I recognized the incongruity of my reference, but I couldn't think of another critic off-hand who I knew had a review of "Woman in the Window" (or it may be that he commented on the film in his mini-review of "Scarlet Street.")

If we're talking popular (with an emphasis on popular) movie/video review books for quick reference, I do find his comments to be a cut above the others I've looked at.

(And yes, I know I said elsewhere that I was ducking controversy by going out of town - but I noticed this computer in the hotel lobby and hopped on.)

Well, for better or worse, the National Enquirer is popular, too.    (Mostly worse, IMO, though.  )

We know - you just couldn't stay away.
