HitchPod - A Podcast About Alfred Hitchcock Movies

We continue our look at the 14th best Hitchcock movie according to our listeners, by comparing Hitchcock’s To Catch A Thief to the Best Picture winner for 1955, Marty.

We also discuss which characters might be ghosts, the looming perils of supermarkets and the one simple editing trick that would have vastly improved this film, before revealing the 13th best Hitchcock movie via the still quite improbable medium of cryptic crossword clue.
