Some early gems from a master
![Alfred Hitchcock came to America to make the 1940 Oscar-winning best picture, "Rebecca." Before arriving on our shores, he had long been one of England's premiere directors, turning the film industry on its ear with his first big hit, the 1927 thriller "The Lodger."](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2007-02/27690097.jpg "Alfred Hitchcock came to America to make the 1940 Oscar-winning best picture, "Rebecca.\" Before arriving on our shores, he had long been one of England's premiere directors, turning the film industry on its ear with his first big hit, the 1927 thriller \"The Lodger.\"")

'The Good German'
![The first scene of Steven Soderbergh's "The Good German," which is set in Berlin at the end of World War II, instantly calls to mind Roberto Rossellini's "Germany Year Zero." The last scene is a dead ringer for "Casablanca." Book-ended between the neo-realist beginning and the iconic ending is a film noir done in the classic style. Using vintage lenses, black-and-white film (high-contrast color stock with the color pulled out, but close enough), Hollywood back lots, rear-projection, expressionistic angles, an old-fashioned score, a morally compromised hero, an alluring femme fatale and a very bleak view of the world, Soderbergh has made a movie set in 1945 that looks as if it were made in 1945. Some of it was, even. The director has included footage of Berlin after the war shot by Billy Wilder and William Wyler, for verisimilitude and (why not?) good luck.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-12/26894854.jpg "The first scene of Steven Soderbergh's "The Good German,\" which is set in Berlin at the end of World War II, instantly calls to mind Roberto Rossellini's \"Germany Year Zero.\" The last scene is a dead ringer for \"Casablanca.\" Book-ended between the neo-realist beginning and the iconic ending is a film noir done in the classic style.
