Considered the first British talkie film. This is an Alfred Hitchcock thriller about a shopkeeper's daughter and the criminal mess she gets herself and her detective boyfriend mixed up in.The plot is simple, Detective Webber is too caught up in his work to spend time with his girlfriend, Alice. She decides to go out with another man instead. After a quarrel in "the artists" apartment she relies on her detective boyfriend to cover up her mess.
Using sound creatively and a fairly simple story, especially from Hitchcock, this wasn't a memorable film of his. It is however historically significant and good compared to other films of this generation.
If you want to watch the whole Hitchcock collection you shouldn't be turned away from this early one, but it was not my favorite. I watched it because it is part of the 1001 Movies to See Before You Die book.
