begins with what is arguably his most maligned film, Juno and the Paycock. It’s

the adaptation of a famed Irish play about a poor Dublin family whose bonds are

tested when they anticipate a large inheritance. We watched it so you don’t

have to, and we discuss it all here.

Alma Reville, adapted from the Sean O’Casey play. Starring Sara Allgood, Edward

Chapman, Marie O’Neill, and Sidney Morgan.

Ranking:

52 out of 52. Ranking movies is a reductive parlor game. It’s also fun. And it’s a good way to frame a discussion. We aggregated over 70 ranking lists from critics, fans, and magazines, and will be going through Alfred Hitchcock’s

films from “worst” to “best.” Juno and the Paycock got 167 ranking points and is in last place.
