A Piece of Pie: The Queer Film Podcast

Rope & Strangers on a Train

05 Aug 2021

Description

Click here to send us a message!This week we’re putting on our film nerd caps and re-examining the legendary Alfred Hitchcock. With both Rope and Strangers on a Train ol’ Hitch trots out killer queers in high society out to commit the perfect murder. Under the rules of the infamous “Hayes Code,” these films couldn’t portray homosexuals explicitly, and Alfred Hitchcock seemed to take that as a challenge, crafting two films that show more than they tell. But did he help create stereotypes that still abound today? Our friend Nick joins Brian and Max for the first time to discuss queer villains, the Hayes Code and Hitchcock’s various problematic qualities.
