HitchPod - A Podcast About Alfred Hitchcock Movies

We continue our look at the 15th best Hitchcock movie according to our listeners, by comparing Hitchcock’s Lifeboat to the Best Picture winner for 1944, Gaslight.

We also discuss titles that transcend their movie, the perfect MacGuffin and our collective desire to just keep watching Joseph Cotten, before revealing the 14th best Hitchcock movie via the still quite improbable medium of cryptic crossword clue.

Note: A lot of people and websites claim that Going My Way won the Best Picture that year. This is wrong. Gaslight definitely won. Trust us.
