Hello and welcome to the latest episode of Film By Numbers!
It is Episode 17 and we have called it ‘Meeting at Number 17: The Films of Alfred Hitchcock’. Number 17 was an early feature film of Hitchcock’s from 1932 that the great man himself denounced as “a terrible picture, very cheap melodrama.” It’s a crime thriller about a gang of thieves who gather at a safe house following a robbery whilst being pursued by a police detective.
As well as Number 17 we delve into Hitchcock’s filmography, motifs, and legacy.
Many thanks to Jennie Kermode (writer and director at Eye For Film) and Michael Barrett (film critic and writer) for joining us on this podcast.
