April starts with Hitchcock's intensely beautiful Vertigo (1958), with one of Bernard Herrman's loveliest scores. April 1
April 3 has Ernst Lubitsch's mordantly funny To Be or Not to Be (1942).
April 7 has Vincente Minnelli's gorgeous color and wide-screen Some Came Running (1958), with its powerful Elmer Bernstein score.
The 8th has Andre DeToth's Springfield Rifle (1952) and Anthony Mann's Winchester '73 (1950), two striking Westerns of betrayal and revenge.
The 9th has Yasajuro Ozu's Late Spring (1949), austerely elegant, in Ozu's deceptively simple style.
April 11th has Raoul Walsh's Western remake of his High Sierra , Colorado Territory (1949) and Preston Sturges's richly funny The Lady Eve (1941).
On April 14 is Douglas Sirk's ironic soap opera All That Heaven Allows (1955), with its exquisite color.
On the 18th is Walsh's marvelous period piece, Gentleman Jim (1942) and Samuel Fuller's biting vision of America in the early 60's, Shock Corridor (1963).
April 20th has Hitchcock's film of dangerous voyeurism, Rear Window (1954) and on the 21st is Leo McCarey's moving story of a last chance at love, An Affair to Remember (1957).
On the 23rd is Raiiner Werner Fassbinder's Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974), something of a remake of the Sirk showing on April 14th.
