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. ;D 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!! :o
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. [wink2] (Mostly worse, IMO, though. :()

We know - you just couldn't stay away. :D
