Marshal Latham and I are both Alfred Hitchcock fans, and have talked about a handful of his movies on Marshal's Journey Into... podcast sub-show "Outfield Excursions." When I found a copy of a DVD collection of twenty of Hitch's movies at the library, I scooped it up, watching THE LADY VANISHES, and eventually the 1934 version of THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH.
We thought it would be fun to watch it and the 1958 remake to compare and contrast them (it was the only film Hitchcock made twice in his lengthy career). The copy I watched was in pretty bad shape, and the whole film is on YouTube for free, ironically, in a slightly better transfer than on the DVD.
Our review of the first movie is available at THIS LINK, with the conversation about the remake to follow. Marshal does the editing of these podcasts himself, which is just about the most thankless task you can imagine, believe me.
