Young And Innocent former child star Nova Pilbeam - the kidnapping victim in The Man Who Knew To Much, reappears in this light hearted and unpretentious mystery shot on location in Cornwall. PLaying the daughter of a local constable, Pilbeam shelters a suspected murderer (Derrick De Marney) and a charming romance develops.
The highlight of this rare Hitchcock film is a stunningly intricate camera crane shot of the twitching eyes of the guilt-ridden killer: a jazz drummer in blackface.
Rich And Strange before becoming the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock made this odd little dark comedy that could be biographical. Fred Hill and his wife Emily depart their dreary middle life to go on a world cruise via a rich uncle. Fred gets mixed up with a sexy con artist while Emily courts a rich older man. There are plenty of classic Hitchcock touches, Fred and Emily argue about each other's affairs while a salvation Army band play across the street and in truly exciting sequence Fred and Emily's ship begins to sink, the camera never leaves their stateroom.
