In this June's movie of the month review, Justin and I discuss Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, from 1954! This movie is still in the top 100 list of greatest movies ever made, 70 years later! The uniqueness of the movie takes place on one movie set, and dives into the everyday lives of people at one time through one man's view from an apartment window. We find out in the end one man's consequences of being to involved with others business, the morality of spying on others, and the overall plot of who done it in the end! This movie stars the old Hollywood legends James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Thelma Ritter, and Wendell Corey! At the end we give a review on our drink of the episode the typical Old Fashioned! Recipe as follows: one shot of water, 2 shots of your favorite Bourbon, and one shot of Master of Mixes Old Fashioned mixer. Stir well, and serve on the rocks! This mixer is easy if you do not have time to go through the whole process of bitters and orange peels! Rear Window is currently available on Netflix! Enjoy!

Alfred Hitchcock decía: "Imaginemos que estamos los dos aquí y han puesto una bomba bajo la mesa. Tengo dos maneras de contarlo. O bien muestro al espectador la bomba en la mesa y luego vuelvo la cámara hacia el personaje, así el espectador se pregunta, ¿cuándo va a explotar? Eso se llama suspense. O bien elijo no mostrar la bomba, filmo solo a las personas y de repente hago explotar la bomba. Eso es una sorpresa". Pierre Lemaitre es un amante de Hitchcock hasta el punto de pensar en qué haría él cuando escribe. El escritor presenta 'Un futuro prometedor', editado por Salamandra/Bromera. Suspense y sorpresa, entre otras cosas, aguardan al lector de cualquiera de sus novelas, pero concretamente de la última, 'Un futuro prometedor', en la que continúan las peripecias de la familia Pelletier, protagonistas también de 'Tras el ancho mundo' y 'El silencio y la cólera'.Miguel Ángel Delgado nos acerca esta semana al lado más humano y menos conocido de una de las figuras más populares de la ciencia. En 'Cartas', de Oliver Sacks (Anagrama), encontramos confesiones íntimas, temores, equivocaciones y facetas personales que no siempre vemos reflejadas en sus obras científicas.Desde el Teatro Real de Madrid, Olga Baeza nos cuenta el cierre de temporada con una deuda saldada: La traviata, de Verdi. El montaje, previsto en 2020, fue entonces sustituido por una versión adaptada a las restricciones sanitarias. Hoy, finalmente, se alza el telón en su forma completa.Y cerramos con el documental 'Velintonia 3', de Javier Vila, que recupera la memoria viva de la casa de Vicente Aleixandre. Más que una vivienda, un refugio de creación y encuentro para generaciones de poetas que pasaron por sus estancias, leyeron en su biblioteca y conversaron con él.Escuchar audio

"EDITH HEAD: OLD HOLLYWOOD'S QUEEN OF FASHION" (093) EPISODE 93 -  6/23/25 With eight Academy Awards to her name — more than any other woman in history — EDITH HEAD wasn't just a costume designer; she was a storyteller in fabric, silhouette, and sparkle. From BETTE DAVIS to GRACE KELLY to AUDREY HEPBURN, she dressed the biggest stars of the silver screen, leaving an indelible mark on both fashion and film. In this episode, we explore how a shy schoolteacher became the most powerful woman in Hollywood wardrobes, her collaborations with iconic directors like Alfred Hitchcock, and how her designs helped shape characters, define eras, and influence fashion far beyond the studio lot. So, slip into something fabulous, and let's step behind the curtain into the life and legacy of the great Edith Head.

“I really loved it,” Francine Prose says of Nixon-era San Francisco in this episode of The World in Time, “but I also knew I wasn't going to live there forever. Everyone I knew was living in these group houses in Berkeley, and then in the city itself, with ten people or fifteen people. I talk about the Reno Hotel, a former nineteenth-century hotel that had been built for boxers, and the city had given it to artists and designers and said, You can live there, don't burn it down. And so they carved out these incredibly beautiful spaces for themselves. But this was before the tech revolution, when the Mission was still kind of wild and free, and it wasn't all the glass cubes and people in tech. It was a great city to live in then. There was a kind of freedom there. Certainly compared to what I'd come from. My good fortune was that I wasn't around a lot of hippies giving acid to two-year-olds. The book takes place during the Vietnam War. We went out and protested McNamara. My husband was the one who scaled the Pentagon, the walls of the Pentagon. We were very idealistic. Maybe unrealistically idealistic, but hey, I'll take it.” This week on the podcast, Donovan Hohn speaks with Francine Prose, author of 1974: A Personal History, about the San Francisco she remembers from her youth, about her relationship with Pentagon Papers whistleblower Tony Russo, about the final defeat of 1960s counterculture, and about the eerie echoes of Prose's favorite movie, Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.

fWotD Episode 2968: Jaws (film) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 20 June 2025, is Jaws (film).Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg. Based on the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley, it stars Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody, who, with the help of a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Robert Shaw), hunts a man-eating great white shark that attacks beachgoers at a summer resort town. Murray Hamilton plays the mayor, and Lorraine Gary portrays Brody's wife. The screenplay is credited to Benchley, who wrote the first drafts, and actor-writer Carl Gottlieb, who rewrote the script during principal photography.Shot mostly on location at Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts from May to October 1974, Jaws was the first major motion picture to be shot on the ocean and consequently had a troubled production, going over budget and schedule. As the art department's mechanical sharks often malfunctioned, Spielberg decided to mostly suggest the shark's presence, employing an ominous and minimalist theme created by composer John Williams to indicate its impending appearances. Spielberg and others have compared this suggestive approach to that of director Alfred Hitchcock. Universal Pictures released the film to over 450 screens, an exceptionally wide release for a major studio picture at the time, accompanied by an extensive marketing campaign with heavy emphasis on television spots and tie-in merchandise.Regarded as a watershed moment in motion picture history, Jaws was the prototypical summer blockbuster and won several awards for its music and editing. It was the highest-grossing film of all time until the release of Star Wars two years later; both films were pivotal in establishing the modern Hollywood business model, which pursues high box-office returns from action and adventure films with simple high-concept premises, released during the summer in thousands of theaters and advertised heavily. Jaws was followed by three sequels (none of which involved Spielberg or Benchley) and many imitative thrillers. In 2001, the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. The film is available on DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray; it was previously distributed on VHS and Betamax.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:16 UTC on Friday, 20 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Jaws (film) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Emma.

In this episode, Dr. Douglas Groothuis shares his first film review on Truth Tribe, reading an essay he originally published on his blog. The focus is Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror classic, The Birds, a suspenseful and unsettling tale of inexplicable bird attacks in a small California town. Dr. Groothuis examines the film's haunting themes, reflecting on their theological and moral implications. From the unsettling randomness of the attacks to the symbolism of the caged lovebirds, Dr. Groothuis encourages listeners to think deeply about how creation, human dominion, and divine justice intersect — even in the unsettling world of Hitchcock’s cinema.

Strap in for suspense, mistaken identity, and a cross-country chase as Movie Mistrial dives into Alfred Hitchcock's stylish thriller, North by Northwest.North by Northwest is a dazzling mix of espionage, romance, and action, showcasing Hitchcock at the height of his powers. Cary Grant's suave performance, the sharp screenplay, and iconic set pieces—like the crop duster chase and Mount Rushmore climax—make it a thrilling and entertaining ride that helped define the modern spy thriller.While undeniably influential, some might argue North by Northwest leans more on spectacle than substance. Its implausible plot and light character development can feel dated or overly polished to viewers seeking deeper emotional stakes.Join us as we dissect this high-stakes classic and ask: Is North by Northwest Hitchcock's most fun film—or simply a stylish diversion?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.

Was haben Alfred Hitchcock, Oliver Stone oder Bernardo Bertolucci gemeinsam: exakt - alles Meisterregisseure UND menschlich wohl ziemlich fragwürdige Gestalten. Wir schauen heute auf schlimme Geschichten von Filmsets, kaputte Egos und Übergriffe. Zum Glück haben wir auch leichte Kost an Bord: dank „Karate Kid: Legends“ kommen die 90er zurück und „Fountain of Youth“ ist so schlecht, dass David glatt 10 Jahre gealtert ist. 00:00:00 Start 00:12:20 Fountain of Youth 00:28:54 The Last of Us Season 2 00:35:37 Der Phönizische Meisterstreich 00:47:11 Fist of the Warrior 00:51:18 Karate Kid: Legends 01:12:30 Toxische Regisseure David O.

53 films. 50 years. 6 decades. After watching every single movie Alfred Hitchcock ever made (minus one, lost in time), Josh and Ira reflect back on the past two years they spent with the legendary director. Beyond the topics of 'what did we learn about and from Hitch?', we attempt to answer a couple massive questions. First: is he the best director of all time? And second: what are the essential watches from his catalogue? We discuss!

Alfred Hitchcock was one of the most celebrated film directors of all time. In a career that spanned six decades, he produced more than 50 films, including Britain's first successful talking picture. His countless awards and accolades earned him a reputation as the ‘Master of Suspense', but how did an introverted working class boy come to dominate Hollywood? What was the truth behind the rumours of obsessive ruthless behaviour? And what makes his films so revered still to this day? This is a Short History Of Alfred Hitchcock.  A Nosier Production. Written by Olivia Jordan. With thanks to Tony Lee Moral, author of numerous books on Hitchcock, including ‘Alfred Hitchcock: Storyboards'.  Get every episode of Short History Of a week early with Noiser+.

In this episode, we look at Twentieth Century-Fox, John Ford, Shirley Temple, John Wayne, and Alfred Hitchcock.

Front Row Classics is taking a look at the only Best Picture winning film from Alfred Hitchcock's canon. Brandon is joined by Peter Martin to discuss 1940's Rebecca. The film remains a favorite due to its gothic atmosphere and stellar performances. Brandon and Peter discuss the similarities and differences from Daphne du Maurier's novel along with the battle of wills between Hitchcock and producer David O. Selznick. The two also praise the performances of Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine and Judith Anderson.

Leave your crystal balls out of this, George... It's Hitchcock's final film. After 6 decades, 53 films, and 50 years, Alfred Hitchcock finally reached the end. His last feature is remarkably light fare, comedy over suspense, jokes over violence, a cozy old-school sensibility over the edginess that exploded in the 70s. So, how does it stack up? Did old Hitch still have it? We watch and find out.

Emboldened by a new, permissive generation of filmmaking, Alfred Hitchcock is about to attempt his most daring, most provocative picture yet - a grimly dark tale that will lean heavily upon the boundaries of what is permissible. But will this step into the shocking even be allowed?

The success of Alfred Hitchcock Presents has led to an all-new television venture, and kicks off with a Hitchcock-directed courtroom drama with a diabolical twist.

The plan for Hitchcock's next project has taken even his team aback somewhat - an almost impossible feat involving man's war on nature, and an attempt at the avant-garde.
