It's The Philadelphia Story from 1940, directed by George Cukor.

Time to discuss Diabolique from 1955, directed by that sneaky devil Henri-Georges Clouzot.

We're filing a claim on Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity from 1944, in the process discussing the underutilised cinematic possibilities of insurance dramas, hand sanitiser etiquette and anklet signals.

It's no charade. We really did watch Stanley Donen's 1963 thriller Charade. In this episode, we discuss the many faces of Cary Grant, the correct number of plot twists for a single film and how to pull off a two-for-one cameo without anyone noticing.

Time for a peeping Cat and peeping Dan peek at Michael Powell's Peeping Tom from 1960. We're covering movies within movies, psychobabble, a quite startling proliferation of redheads and loads of other stuff. Modern-day critics are already calling this podcast episode 'beastly', 'corrupt and empty' and 'perverted nonsense', but we remain hopeful that it will be reassessed more favourably by future podcast judges.
