Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast.
In episode 120 Sam is joined by Neil Alcock, film writer and author of HITCHOLOGY: A Film-by-Film Guide to the Style and Themes of Alfred Hitchcock.
Neil has chosen Hitchcock's The 39 Steps (86 mins). The 1935 film stars Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, John Laurie, and Peggy Ashcroft.
Sam and Neil discuss Hitchcock's early filmmaking career in Britain, Robert Donat's onscreen presence and Hitchcock's nicknames for his leading actors.
Neil's book is available to buy now from the following retailers. Listen to his previous podcast episode on Rope here.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
