Good evening. Welcome to Dial P for Podcast, Patrick Ripoll's year-long chronological voyage through the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Every month Patrick will be watching four Hitchcock features and talking about them here, from The Pleasure Garden to Family Plot, all across the year of 2026, examining the life and work of England's most famous cinema pervert.As the Selznick era comes to an end we see an Alfred Hitchcock growing in confidence, ambition and struggling against the increasing interference of the overbearing producer. With Lifeboat Hitchcock takes on a seemingly simple premise that was in fact an enormous technical challenge, Spellbound found a David O Selznick obsession with psychiatry producing a mess of a thriller, Notorious finds Hitchcock hitting a career high and pissing off every censor in Hollywood, while The Paradine Case begs the question: if a murder happens and no actors capable of emoting can't react to it, does it make a sound?You can add the mid-40's to Hitchcock's list of playmates.

¡Pónganse cómodos y ajusten sus cinturones! En el episodio de hoy nos vestimos de etiqueta para viajar hasta 1959 y sumergirnos de lleno en 'Con la muerte en los talones' (North by Northwest), una de las cumbres absolutas en la carrera de Alfred Hitchcock y la película que redefinió para siempre el cine de intriga y espías. Para la ocasión, desplegamos un dossier absoluto donde repasamos el fascinante proceso de gestación de este clásico. Arrancamos desde el origen de la idea, nacida del deseo de Hitchcock y el guionista Ernest Lehman de crear la película de suspense definitiva, hasta los secretos de un rodaje mítico. Analizamos el carisma arrollador de Cary Grant como el inolvidable Roger O. Thornhill, la sofisticación de Eva Marie Saint y la elegancia villana de James Mason. Además, nos adentramos en los desafíos técnicos de filmar con cámara oculta en la sede de la ONU en Nueva York, la genialidad tras la famosa secuencia de la avioneta en Bakersfield y los problemas con las autoridades estadounidenses para rodar el clímax final en los rostros del Monte Rushmore, sin olvidar la inmortal banda sonora de Bernard Herrmann y los títulos de crédito de Saul Bass. Pero eso no es todo. En la segunda parte del programa, nos sentamos a la mesa junto a Guillermo, Pablito Terrores y Salva Vargas para realizar un exhaustivo recorrido por toda la trama de la película. Escena a escena, desmenuzamos el funcionamiento impecable del malentendido del "falso culpable", la brillantez narrativa de sus set pieces, la enorme carga de erotismo y doble sentido que esquivó a la censura de la época y esa combinación perfecta entre comedia elegante y thriller frenético que convirtió a esta obra en la abuela de sagas como James Bond o Misión Imposible. EN LA PAUSA DEL PODCAST: Películas que nunca se hicieron En nuestro interludio central viajamos a un universo paralelo de la historia del cine para rescatar un proyecto fantasma fascinante: 'The Blind Man'. Os contamos la historia del borrador que el propio Hitchcock y Ernest Lehman prepararon justo después de Con la muerte en los talones, centrado en un hombre ciego que recuperaba la vista en Disneyland tras un trasplante de córneas y se veía envuelto en un asesinato. Descubriréis cómo la negativa de Walt Disney a permitir rodar en su parque de atracciones dinamitó uno de los proyectos más bizarros e interesantes de la historia del cine. ¡Acompañanos en esta aventura!

Alfred Hitchcock remains cinema's Master of Suspense a century after directing his first film, but decades of biography have blurred the line between the man and the myth. Mike talks with author Tony Lee Moral about his sixth Hitchcock book, A Century of Hitchcock, and the archival discovery that reshaped it: a 36-page 1980 transcript of biographer Donald Spoto's own interview with Tippi Hedren.Moral traces how Spoto's personal grievances against Hitchcock — including being routinely ignored by name and bitten by the director's West Highland terrier — colored The Darkside of Genius and shaped decades of tabloid narrative. Drawing on new interviews with secretaries, screenwriters, and script supervisors who worked alongside Hitchcock, Moral makes the case for reexamining the record on Hitchcock's treatment of women, from Tippi Hedren's shifting accounts to the making of The Birds and Marnie.The conversation also revisits The Pleasure Garden on its hundredth anniversary, Hitchcock's collaboration with Salvador Dalí on Spellbound, and what a possible sixth Hitchcock book might hold.

Box office smash horror films. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Backrooms (2026) and Obsession (2026), but in two separate conversations. Jeremy and William discuss Backrooms, directed by Kane Parsons, and then Jeremy and Sarah discuss Obsession, directed by Curry Barker. The Backrooms conversation starts with the box office impact of the film and how it potentially is shifting the industry model for investing in films. We unpack the psychology of the horror in the film, especially when considering the realities of Gen Z and what horror looks like in a post-Millennial world. We talk about the brilliant performances from Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, as are the physical sets in the film. We discuss the structure of the film and where the films works and where it is weak. We connect the film to the work of David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick. Sarah swaps out with William, and chats with Jeremy about Obsession. Our conversation begins by praising the performance actor Inde Navarrette and later in the episode Michael Johnston. We talk about the strength of the narrative and how we can relate the situation amidst the horror. Our discussion focuses on the ending and the poetic justice, as well as the strength of the writing. We make connections to Weapons (2025), Romeo and Juliet (roughly 1597), Heated Rivalry (2025-), Fatal Attraction (1987), and the work of David Fincher and David Lynch (again). We finish the conversation by highlighting how much the film connected with our own lives.

Sean and I originally came up with something like a half-dozen subjects for this miniseries, including a few actors from Saturday Night Live who made the jump into films. But ultimately it became kind of unwieldy, so we limited ourselves to two full episodes. Hollywood and show business fame in general can be a brutal place, and careers can end for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes actors just fall out of favor (Uma Thurman or Orlando Bloom, perhaps). Sometimes they say/do something controversial (Will Smith, Wesley Snipes). Sometimes—often the case with child actors—they decide they just want to do something else and leave the industry (Peter Ostrum, Mara Wilson). And some actors leave for more noble reasons. Rick Moranis retired for several years to raise his children after his wife died. Phoebe Cates married Kevin Kline and chose not to return to acting even though the opportunities were still coming. Then there was Grace Kelly. Grace Kelly got involved with an honest-to-god prince, Rainier of Monaco, and simply walked away from the industry. She made eleven films (not counting documentaries), and about a month after finishing her last film, High Society, she married Rainier and that was pretty much that. So in today's episode we'll be looking at two of Kelly's films. We begin with 1954's Rear Window, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and co-starring James Stewart. It's a taut thriller that maybe had the unfortunate side effect of making voyeurism look attractive. In Part 2 of today's episode we'll be talking about To Catch a Thief from 1955.

In 1955, Kelly paired up with Alfred Hitchcock again, to make To Catch a Thief, co-starring Cary Grant. Grant plays a retired cat burglar who is suspected of committing a new series of robberies, so he sets up a big job as a kind of sting operation to nab the person who's making him look like he's returned to a life of crime. Grace Kelly plays one of his potential victims in this scheme, and there are all kinds of interesting twists that, when viewed through a modern lens, you may see coming, but then again you may not. COMING ATTRACTIONS: In our next episode we continue the series with a career cut short by tragedy. River Phoenix was an actor with a great deal of promise who unfortunately couldn't control his demons. We begin with Stand By Me from 1986 (which has a second tragedy attached to it by now, but we recorded this long before Rob Reiner's death), and then peek at one of his lesser-known—but of similar quality—films, Running On Empty, from 1988. Join us, won't you?

On the sixty- third episode of All the Film Things, Anne Hockens, the Director of Communications for the Film Noir Foundation, *returns* to join me in analyzing Pedro Almodóvar's 2006 comedy/ drama film Volver! This episode is spoiler- filled. Volver marks the first and only time Almodóvar's two muses, Penélope Cruz and Carmen Maura, shared the screen. The film revolves around sisters Raimunda (Cruz) and Sole (Lola Dueñas) living in Madrid who are first seen cleaning their parents' gravestones in a communal tradition. Shortly after, both sisters are forced to handle the loss of two family members separately. Raimunda does everything in her power to provide for and keep Paula safe while Sole is reunited with her mother (Maura), who was presumed to be dead. The Film Noir Foundation will be holding their highly- anticipated first Noir City Film Festival in NYC beginning this Friday, July 10 and concluding on July 19 at the Paris Theater. Over those nine days, 32 noir films will be screened and you can purchase tickets by going to ParisTheaterNYC.com.

Anne's debut appearance on All the Film Things was back in November to discuss Double Indemnity, click here to listen to that episode. Anne, in a very rare move, was a part of the stellar ensemble of guests in the previous episode joining me in paying tribute to Marilyn Monroe (you can click here to listen to that episode). These two episodes were recorded on the same day so, while the Marilyn tribute was released first, this was really her second appearance (which is also why this episode is shorter than usual). Anne is a delight and has already become one of my very favorite people to discuss film with. Between having having a wonderful time talking about Double Indemnity and knowing she is a fellow Almodóvar fan, I knew we had to discuss one of his masterpieces in our next episode together. This episode was recorded on May 28, 2026. In this episode, Anne and I talk about attempt to do the impossible by figuring out where Volver ranks amongst our favorite Almodóvar films, how Alfred Hitchcock's The Trouble with Harry inspired Almodóvar in a key point in the film, and our favorite darkly comedic moments. Anne also shares her experience seeing the film in theaters twenty years ago while I compared Blanca Portillo's character Agustina to her character Judit in Broken Embraces.

In August 1940, Alfred Hitchcock released FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, a spy thriller that looked like simple entertainment but carried a hidden message for American audiences. In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, Dan and Tom dig into how Hitchcock, working in Hollywood while Europe burned, smuggled a warning into one of his lesser-known masterpieces. Hitchcock is the master of suspense, so listen now to this espionage spy thriller that oozes with Hitchcockian brilliance. Join us as we trace the story of Johnny Jones, a green American reporter sent to Europe under a fake name, who stumbles into a web of assassins, double agents, and a missing diplomat holding a secret that could decide the fate of a continent. Along the way, we explore the real history behind the film, including the journalists who inspired it, the genuine spycraft Hitchcock borrowed from British intelligence, and the wartime tension that shaped nearly every scene. We also break down the film's most famous sequences, talk about the standout cast performances, including an Oscar-nominated actor who did not know how to speak a word of English. Here are some things you'll learn: ·         Hitchcock's spy thriller had a hidden political message — and the U.S. government noticed it before America even joined the war. ·         One real Hollywood reporter inspired the story, but several characters were modeled after actual Nazi agents operating in Europe. ·         A famous rain-soaked assassination scene hides a clever visual trick that still feels shockingly modern. ·         An Oscar-nominated actor delivered every line of dialogue without understanding a single word he was saying. ·         The film's final scene wasn't part of the original script — real-world events changed the ending just before release. By the end, you will never watch FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT the same way again. Stick around to the finish, where we reveal exactly where to spot Hitchcock's tricky cameo appearance.

For over a century, Alfred Hitchcock has remained one of cinema’s most influential directors. Known as the Master of Suspense, this visionary filmmaker directed more than fifty films over six decades. His thriller “The Lodger” (1927) marked the start of his signature style, which was later exemplified in classic films like “Vertigo” (1958), “North by Northwest” (1959), “Psycho” (1960), and “The Birds” (1963). Hitchcock’s work received tremendous success and critical acclaim. While he never won the competitive Academy Award for Best Director, he received five Oscar nominations, two Golden Globes, the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, a BAFTA Fellowship, multiple lifetime achievement awards, and two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Nine of his films are preserved in the United States National Film Registry. His mastery of tension, innovative camera techniques, and psychological depth continue to inspire and influence modern filmmakers such as Christopher Nolan, Jordan Peele, and Bong Joon Ho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NUJN1fq0Sc Drawing on new archival research, previously unpublished interviews, and a rigorous examination of key biographies, “A Century of Hitchcock” challenges the long-standing narratives that have shaped Hitchcock’s legacy. Author Tony Lee Moral revisits controversial claims regarding Hitchcock’s alleged abuses, scrutinizing biographer Donald Spoto’s interpretations—particularly Spoto’s portrayal of the director’s relationship with actress Tippi Hedren. With his analysis of Spoto’s 1980 interview of Hedren, Moral reveals for the first time how one key document contradicts decades of exaggeration. In this comprehensive reappraisal of Hitchcock’s career, Moral encourages readers to explore the complexities of creative collaboration and the risks of relying on a single biographical narrative. Marking one hundred years since Hitchcock’s first film, “The Pleasure Garden”, and fifty years since his last film, “Family Plot”, Moral reexamines the director’s cinematic brilliance, storytelling mastery, creative partnerships, and controversies, offering a fresh perspective on Hitchcock’s legacy in the post-#MeToo era.
