   Episode 44: "The Wrong Man" (1956)

   Hitchcock's only "true story" is a sombre New York rhapsody about an innocent man wrongly accused, with a touch of neorealism and the overwhelming paranoia. "The Wrong Man" boasts fantastic performances by Henry Fonda and Vera Miles and finds the director working with a material that seems both personal and deeply immersed in Catholic values. Join us as we explore the film's meanings, style, and atmosphere.

   Episode 43: "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1956)

   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.

   Episode 42: "The Trouble with Harry" (1955) feat. Jan Dzierzgowski

   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.
