Dial P for Podcast #3: Skin Game, Rich and Strange, Number Seventeen, The Man Who Knew Too Much

Good evening. Welcome back to Dial P for Podcast , Patrick Ripoll's year-long chronological voyage through the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Every month Patrick will be watching four Hitchcock features and talking about them here, from The Pleasure Garden to Family Plot, all across the year of 2026, examining the life and work of England's most famous cinema pervert. For episode 3 we find Hitchcock's clout at British International Pictures crumbling, his bosses increasingly fed up with his nonsense and a new beginning that would catapult him to international success. Plus: Alfred Hitchcock does drag! From turgid stage adaptations to bizarre pseudo-screwball, from old dark house farce to basically inventing James Bond, this is one of the wildest stretches of Hitch's career! 0:00 - 0:40 - Intro Music 0:41 - 20:46 - The Skin Game (1931) 20:47 - 51:41 - Rich and Strange (1931) 51:42 - 1:22:06 - Number Seventeen (1932) 1:22:07 - 2:26:49 - The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) 2:26:50 - 2:27:59 - Outro Music
