The Mondavi Center’s winter quarter Focus on Film, Hitchcock—The Wrong Man Theme, starts Jan. 5 with Spellbound.

Alfred Hitchcock’s 1945 film “revolves around Gregory Peck’s amnesia,
a false accusation of murder and a solution involving the interpretation of dreams depicted in sequences designed by surrealist Salvador Dali,” according to Don Roth, the Mondavi Center’s executive director.

“Love and psychiatry, in the form of Ingrid Bergman, eventually conquer all,” Roth said, “but not before an amazing scene when the real guilty party is revealed.”

Other films in the Hitchcock series:

Jan. 26—North by Northwest (1959)

Feb. 23—Strangers on a Train (1951)

Focus on Film's spring quarter theme is Paul Haggis Picks, coinciding with the writer-director-producer's visit to campus to deliver a lecture the night of May 11 in the Mondavi Center's Distinguished Spoeakers Series.

Here are the Haggis films in the Paul Haggis Picks series:

March 30—Z (1969)

April 13—Rashomon (1950)

April 27—Breathless (1960)

May 18—Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

All films start at 6:30 p.m. in the Studio Theatre. After each film, audience members are invited to stay for a reception and open discussion.

Tickets: $10 for adults, and $5 for students and children for single films; and $27 for three-film plans (choose from among winter quarter's three films and spring quarter's four films).
