Episode 155 - To Catch A Thief (1955)


Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Paul to chat about Cannes, cat burglars and Cary Grant

It’s 1955, it’s Hitchcock, it’s Cary Grant, it’s Grace Kelly, it’s the south of France….a truly great combination for a truly classic movie – To Catch A Thief

For more than a decade, the dashing, retired jewel thief, John Robie, previously known as "The Cat", has been living quietly in his picture-perfect villa on the cosmopolitan, sun-kissed Côte d'Azur. However, someone is prowling the French Riviera, and as a spate of audacious diamond thefts is terrorising the Cannes, John will have no other choice but to spring back into action to clear his name. Indeed, John is caught between a rock and a hard place, and as if that weren't enough, the svelte and sophisticated nouveau-riche heiress, Frances Stevens, is on to him. But, who could be the real culprit? Above all, what will it take to catch a thief?

“Not only did I enjoy that kiss last night, I was awed by its efficiency.”

Episode 154 - To Kill A Mockingbird (1962)


Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Paul to chat about hot, mad rabid dogs, holes in trees and Halloween ham costumes

It’s back to 1962 for a genuine Hollywood classic with an Oscar winning performance from the legendary Gregory Peck in the big screen adaptation of Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird

Based on Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winning book of 1961. Atticus Finch is a lawyer in the fictional town of Maycomb, a racially divided Alabama town, set in the early 1930s, and modeled after Monroeville where Harper Lee grew up. Finch agrees to defend a young black man who is accused of raping a white woman. Many of the townspeople try to get Atticus to pull out of the trial, but he decides to go ahead. How will the trial turn out - and will it effect any changes in racial attitudes in Maycomb?

“... some men in this world are born to do our unpleasant jobs for us... your father is one of them.”
