Love and duty, consent and control, Miami and Rio!

Make sure you step carefully, quietly and unseen into the wine cellar for this feature length episode of Talking Hitchcock where amongst other things, my special guest and I discuss modes of identification, daddy issues and that kiss! Keep tight hold of that key as you are invited to join us for a deep dive of what might be best described as 'a film of faces.'

Sit as a silhouette figure in the shadows but be careful with that after dinner coffee as we are about to embark upon an exploration of a true Hitchcock masterpiece.

In this epic episode, I am joined by Assistant Professor, film lecturer and author of multiple books-Ali Taylor! There was so much to be said about Notorious that we had to meet three times and I could not have wished for a more wonderful guest.

The second Mrs de Winter may have arrived, but the first Mrs de Winter is going nowhere-and she might just be manifesting her presence and strength of will, through the silent and ominous Jasper.
