...been countless speaking engagements, most of them to proselytize for the art and pleasure of movies. At some of these events he leads an in-depth discussion of some classic film - Citizen Kane, Vertigo, The Third Man and most recently In Cold Blood - stopping the action to analyze each frame and study the elements that contribute to the best movies...
