Our journey through the filmography of Alfred Hitchcock
begins with what is arguably his most maligned film, Juno and the Paycock. It’s
the adaptation of a famed Irish play about a poor Dublin family whose bonds are
tested when they anticipate a large inheritance. We watched it so you don’t
have to, and we discuss it all here.
The Details: Juno and the Paycock, released 1930 by British International. Produced by John Maxwell, screenplay by Alfred Hitchcock and
Alma Reville, adapted from the Sean O’Casey play. Starring Sara Allgood, Edward
Chapman, Marie O’Neill, and Sidney Morgan.

Ranking:
52 out of 52. Ranking movies is a reductive parlor game. It’s also fun. And it’s a good way to frame a discussion. We aggregated over 70 ranking lists from critics, fans, and magazines, and will be going through Alfred Hitchcock’s
films from “worst” to “best.” Juno and the Paycock got 167 ranking points and is in last place.
