The great master gets two weeks of films with his special brand of musical magic at Film Forum from October 21-November 3. By no means noir-centric, the festival schedule is chock full of memorable films from all genres.
Noir highlights: Hangover Square (Oct 26-27), Taxi Driver/Cape Fear (Oct 28), Vertigo (Oct 29), On Dangerous Ground (Nov 2)
Of course, plenty of other Hitchcock: North by Northwest, The Trouble With Harry, The Birds, Psycho, and The Man Who Knew Too Much.

Watched Picnic at Hanging Rock and Rene reminded me about Gheorghe Zamfir, "The Master of the Pan Flute."
That's some sweet pan flute and serious 70's marketing skills! Zamfir, born in Romania on April 1, 1941, is known for playing an expanded version of the traditional Romanian-style pan flute (nai) of 20 pipes to 22, 25, 28 and 30 pipes to increase its range, and obtaining as many as eight overtones (additionally to the fundamental tone) from each pipe by changing the embouchure.

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), born in Tupelo, Mississippi, became a film star in 1956, and would go on to appear in a total of 33 feature films (25 as the leading man). Despite a strong, promising start to his acting career, Presley left Hollywood and returned to live performing in 1969, after his later films were critically panned throughout the 1960s.
