A few weeks from now, Robin reviews: The Trouble With Putrefaction. This is absolutely worth watching btw.

Thank you for championing this "Quiet Classic." I read the novel last year and was surprised how much of the dialogue is lifted straight from the book. John Michael Hayes knew when to leave well enough alone. It's always been a favorite. It has the feel of a big Technicolor, Vista-Vision episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." By all means keep doing these. It's always a pleasure to spend time with someone who enjoys these films as much as we do. It's good for the soul. I'm looking forward to "Young and Innocent" and "Frenzy." I think I'll start watching these with an appropriate cocktail in hand. Thanks again.

Would this be a root cause of "Weekend at Bernies"? No matter, I'm enjoying your rambling explanation/discussions. I've bever seen this one. So now added to my watch list.

I am very much enjoying the series. The conversational style makes it feel like I'm in your living room, not a lecture hall. I'm also grateful that you put it out on Fridays, as they can be deadly dull down in the cube farm &amp; this gives me something to look forward to! Looking forward to learning more about Hitchcock &amp; his films.

Really am enjoying this series, it's already part of the weekend routine to sit down and watch with my morning cup of tea. The thing this film reminded me of was one of the early, 'Carry on Films' when they were more subtle and less bawdy.

I'm loving this series, and your description of the music when the spinster character goes to buy a "manly" coffee cup had me giggling helplessly and adding the film to my Netflix.

I think I may be more fond of this than any other Hitchcock film! In a way it is a final flourishing of his English period, with its pastoral setting and sense of humour. The scenery looks beautiful, the music is excellent, and Maclaine brings a bit more personality to the part than most of Hitchcock's leading ladies. I must add anecdotally that I went through a period of watching this film quite regularly - most memorably when I got in after a night out (slightly the worse for wear), put the film on, made a meal, and then, as I was about to sit down and enjoy the film, spilt hot food down my side and onto the carpet!
