Hitchcock’s first talkie, worth checking out if you’re a fan.

The 1st British talkie was also Hitch's 1st talkie & the oldest film I've seen. Astounding how much Hitchcock was already Hitchcock.

This has some of the best sound design. The knife is a incredibly good scene. A master at work.

The first Hitchcock movie. The first try.. An unrefined diamond.

Un très bon film de suspense à la Hitchcock avec une histoire plutôt intéressante.

A worthwhile early Hitchcock that has a gripping plot and excellent acting. It’ll keep you guessing. Great atmosphere and tension.

A surprisingly adept early talkie — despite sagging in the middle, Hitch’s artistry was already shining through.

Awesome Alfred Hitchcock movie. Being Hitchcock's first movie with sound he uses the new medium in a really unique way!

I wish it had a different name. The blackmail kicks off the final act, making the film as a while seem to drag.
