18d ago24:14

24:14

At the very start of the Lavender Scare—a period of intense homophobia within the U.S. government—Hitchcock released a film noir thriller that perfectly encapsulated the paranoia of the time: Strangers on a Train.

One wouldn't normally associate musical theatre with Alfred Hitchcock, but it wasn't a foreign genre to him. Musical numbers take center stage in many of his films (The Pleasure Garden, Elstree Calling, Stage Fright) and singing can play an integral role in others (The Man Who Knew Too Much from 1956). And of course, who could forget Waltzes from V…

Supplemental: Discussing "Vertigo" with Grey 49:05

2M ago49:05

49:05

Vertigo (1958) is either the greatest film ever made or the campy manifestation of Hitchcock's sexism/misogyny. Regardless, it is very much a straight man's film.

Gilded Age Americans were hungry for entertainment and because of this, somehow, the simple hobby of walking captivated the country. So much so that it briefly developed into our national sport and the most gambled-on athletic competition during the Victorian era.
