Rating: 5.0
Buy it.
For the uninitiated, any film from the 30s, especially a British film, would be a bit of a shock.But if you like Hitchcock, or you were ever in love as a teenager, you'll want to own this film. Nova Pilbeam (a wonderful young lady who four years previous had played a little kid in Hitchcock's first version of "The Man Who Knew Too Much") plays a teenager who rightly believes that a young man is innocent of murder - which makes her an accomplice on the run from her beloved father, the police chief. The movie is mostly Nova trying to help him prove his innocence - a plot that Hitchcock used over and over again for 50 years, yet somehow we never tire of it.I've seen all of Hitchcock's films. Every one of them is worth watching multiple times. This may be one of is top five (I may be wrong - maybe it's one of the top ten).Buy it immediately. It will never look better than this; if it doesn't strike you to the core, then you're probably lifeless.
