It's the 35th episode of HitchPod and we're stammering and blushing and forgetting all our lines as we discuss Stage Fright, from 1950. Is this Hitchcock's best 'minor movie'? Can 2020 vision be applied to film techniques from seventy years earlier? And in what way does an actor from this movie remind us of an England cricket captain?

For the 34th episode of HitchPod, we discuss Hitchcock's 1928 movie Champagne. Although, technically, it should only be called that if it was shot in the Champagne region of France.

In the 33rd regular episode of HitchPod, we go back 85 years to Sabotage, based on Joseph Conrad's novel The Secret Agent.
