Bye Bye Rebecca
It wouldn't be a Cinecast Marathon if we didn't have to revise our schedule, would it?
As a few of you have noted, Hitchcock's "Rebecca" is not available through Netflix. Sam and I thought for sure we could find it in a video store somewhere back home in Iowa (me) or New Hampshire (Sam), but no such luck. So, we've decided to bump "Notorious" up in the schedule and we'll discuss it on Friday's podcast. The following week we're planning to do "Shadow of a Doubt" instead of "Rebecca." If you're playing along at home, we hope this doesn't throw you off too much. Thanks for your understanding.
Happy Holidays!
Update: I just wanted to clarify that I'm quite certain we'd have no problem finding "Rebecca" in Chicago. The problem is that Sam and I waited until we went back to our (small) hometowns for the holidays to look for it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was having a hard time finding Rebecca. Our library didn't have it either.
That's crazy that Rebecca's so hard to find. Seems like it's on TV all the time.
It really is one of Hitchcock's best movies, I hope you all find some way to watch it.
I hope you get a chance to see Rebecca at some point. It is one of Hitchcock's best -- if not the best.
For European followers, Rebecca will be shown on BBC2 on December 31st, 12.10 to 14.15.
As for me, I'm playing along and am looking forward to seeing this film. Please keep it on... or at least come up with a better excuse to dump it ;)

Rebecca will be on Turner Classic Movies on January 10th at 2 pm eastern.
"Rebecca" is in a way crucial Hitch, representing his transition from the English movie biz to the American and his learning to cope with David O. Selznick, who should pretty much be considered a co-director for all the control he exerted. Nonetheless, for the same reasons it's not necessarily totally representative.
You should still work Rebecca into the Hitchcock marathon, just don't do it for these next two shows.
Yep, that's the plan...
