I read a story somewhere of a director talking about their mother's twin sister. They said that when they were a child they had a difficult time telling them apart and that it was very uncanny. Specifically they talked about how they came home from school one day and found their mother to be acting aloof and weird, and it turned out it was the sister.

I can't place what director said this, or what film they said was inspired by it. When I tried googling parts of the story, Google's notorious reliable AI said it was Hitchcock and it recounted all the details I remember accurately...but when I tried looking into it I can't find any other sources that say his mother had an identical twin.

So...did she?

It's episode 74 of Al Sjoerdsma's Presenting Alfred Hitchcock Presents podcast (with the Ann Arbor District Library)—a deep dive into Hitchcock's TV series.

In this installment, taxidermist George Tiffany has a pleasant life with his wife Louise until Louise's sponging brother Waldren shows up. What can a fine upstanding taxidermist do to get rid of him?

Then Al takes a look at "Harmony Heaven," a 1930 film with which Hitchcock had nothing to do.

I have a question that I have seen conflicting answers to when trying to Google. I started watching To Catch a Thief for the first time tonight and there are no subtitles for the sections that are in French.

I rented the movie in Amazon Prime at first but because I've had issues with subtitles with them before I tried renting it on YouTube and it didn't have subtitles either. There is quite a lot of French so far and some of it seems like it would be at least somewhat important to be able to understand.

Are there supposed to be subtitles for the French in this movie or is the no subtitles by design?

A masterpiece! I finally watched an Alfred Hitchock movie! My only problem is that I felt the movie ended too soon. It felt like it was going to continue to me

Hello all. I'm new to this sub so I hope this hasn't been asked endlessly before (I did quick searches and didn't find this exact question). I am wanting to own a copy of the original soundtrack to the 1960 "Psycho" (hopefully on cd, but not necessary). When I've done searches for soundtrack releases, all I've found is re-recordings. Any help would be great. Thank you for reading.

Looking to buy a blu-ray box set but can’t seem to find a good comparison been the definitive and Masterpiece box set collections?

Can anyone recommend what one to get?

Thanks!

So I’ve just learned about this series, and I’m just a bit surprised that it existed. While his reputation might be more bloated today than it was back then, I’m still surprised to see a big time movie director dive into the TV business. I I can’t imagine a modern a director creating his own tv show, that was apparently right much work in assuming because there are a ton of episodes. Was it just something he wanted to do or a money thing or what?

This is my 7th time watching the movie (yes, for some reason I keep a spreadsheet tracking all my Hitchcock watches over the years), and this disc looks phenomenal.

Picked it up on Amazon a few days ago as part of the 3/$33 sale. Even has a Dolby Atmos track. Watching this on my new 77” OLED felt like a new experience.

Anyone else pick this one up? I think this movie might barely crack my top 5 Hitchcocks - it’s got everything.

i've been doing a paper for school about Rope and the differences between it and the play its based on. i keep seeing articles saying that James Stewart said he didn't like rope and though he was miscast in that movie but i can't find a source, like a news paper article or something where he is quoted. does anyone know where he said this? is it just one of those internet rumors that aren't really true?

obviously my first thought would be miriam’s murder during the carnival but what are your thoughts?

When Arbogast steps out after talking to Norman, he sees what appears to be the silhouette of Mrs. Bates in the window. If it was Norman seeing that, it would make sense that it's just an illusion. But with Arbogast seeing it, it begs the question of who or what he is seeing. It wouldn't make sense for Norman to have propped her corpse up in front of the window... right?

I’ve seen, Jamaica Inn, North by Northwest and Vertigo. Hitchcock has always been a blind spot in my film knowledge so I figured this would give me a reason to watch more of his stuff. It’s 600 pages and absolutely enormous so wish me luck.

I watched this last night and immediately added it to my list of Hitchcock movies not directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Trap is a wicked suspense thriller with loads of tongue in cheek moments. Josh Hartnett is so over the top, he’s like a half dozen Hitchcock psychos mashed into one, and the first half of the movie has you feeling for him the same way you felt for Norman Bates during those few agonizing seconds that Marion Crane’s car stops sinking into the swamp before it’s fully submerged.

It seems like a lot of people are hating on this movie, but a true Hitchcock fan should enjoy it thoroughly.

Other Hitchcock films not directed by Hitchcock:

With a Friend Like Harry (2000)

Diabolique (1955)

Road Games (1981)

Panic Room (2002)

Peeping Tom (1960)

Of course there are many more, but these are my faves, Trap included!
