Jason and Keith Look at Two Odd Alfred Hitchcock films

Published: Feb. 7, 2022, 2 p.m.

In many ways, Frenzy and The Trouble with Harry are oddball Alfred Hitchcock films. In the case of Frenzy, it's an anomaly because it includes nudity and explicit violence far beyond anything Hitch ever displayed on film before. In the case of The Trouble with Harry, it's an anomaly because, well, it's a comedy-slash-pastoral piece which has at its center a very disliked dead man.

Keith and Jason look at both films to see where they are similar and different from Hitchcock's other classics, and also try to decide if they feel the stylistic quirks make the films better. Spoilers: it's complicated.

Join us for an intriguing discussion which references many other Hitch films and which ends in the inevitable top 5 lists you knew had to be coming.
