Foreign Correspondents: Deeper into Hitchcock

We continue our journey with an off-beat, odd and humorous crime thriller "Number Seventeen", which sees Hitch at the top of his irreverent, narratively loose game. Join us as we discuss a beloved minor gem from Hitch's filmography.

In this episode we discuss Hitchcock's often overlooked adaptation of John Galsworthy's play. "The Skin Game" stars Edmund Gwenn as fearless entrepreneur and features an elaborate auction scene that set the template for similar sequences in director's later movies.

Htichcock's inventive and trashy adaptation of the novel "Enter Sir John" is the subject of our discussion. Discover the world of theatre, "half-castes" and murder with Herbert Marshall as a suave and ironic amateur detective!

In the newest episode we discuss two of Hitchcock's early sound projects: his rather stagey adaptation of Sean O'Casey's play, "Juno and the Paycock", and "Elstree Calling", one of the first British musicals.

In this episode we discuss Hitchcock's breakthrough thriller "Blackmail": Britain's first talkie and director's first attempt to master the new medium of sound.

We discuss Hitchcock's last silent feature, "The Manxman".

In the seventh episode we discuss "Champagne", Hitchcock's comedy shot with a pre-screwball sensibility and telling the story of a rich American heroine and her romantic adventures in the Jazz Age.

Join us in this new episode, in which we discuss a rare comedy to be found in Hitch's filmography, as well as head to a close of his silent period.

In the fifth episode we discuss one of Hitch's key silent movies, hailed by some as his most expressionistic work. Watch the film, listen to the podcast and judge for yourself!
