  • Episode 43: "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1956)
    Aug 5 2025

    Hitchcock’s sumptuous remake of his own “The Man Who Knew Too Much” is a VistaVision spectacular with great cast (Doris Day & James Stewart!) and equally wonderful locations (Marrakesh and London). An American couple on holidays find themselves in a perilous situation: their son gets kidnapped by unknown criminals. To find him, they would travel to Europe and finally reach the Royal Albert Hall – right in the middle of the symphonic concert. Join us as we explore this 1956 classic which both embodies and questions the American contentment of the Fifties as well as mixes thriller with family melodrama.

    An odd entry in Alfred Hitchcock's 1950s canon, "The Trouble with Harry" continues to puzzle and amuse - well, at least it amuses some of us... Join us as we explore this quirky, old-fashioned, lovingly crafted black comedy with our special guest, translator and cinephile Jan Dzierzgowski.

  • Episode 41: "To Catch a Thief" (1955)
    Dec 17 2024

    Shot in glorious Technicolor and in panoramic VistaVision, "To Catch a Thief" remains one of Hitchcock's most elegantly crafted cosmopolitan delights. Côte d'Azur gets the full "touristy" treatment in the story of John Robie "The Cat" (Cary Grant): an ex-thief who needs to find a real jewelry thief prowling on the rooftops of Southern France. Featuring two of the director's favorite actresses, Grace Kelly and Jessie Royce Landis, "To Catch a Thief" is Hitchcock at his most escapist. Join us as we explore both the film's pleasures and its maddening incongruities.
