Who Knew Too Much. Many do not exist even on film. The technology and talent available to Hitchcock in Britain was limited, at least compared to Hollywood, so his British work is not as much of a visual feast in terms of texture and shading. Sound recording was primitive, and excessive use of dynamic noise reduction further reduces dialogue intelligibility on some early titles. In the former's finale, the camera follows the villain into the British Museum.
Police are in hot pursuit.
The fugitive lowers himself down a rope, sharing the frame with the head of a huge Egyptian sculpture. There you have NxNW's Mount Rushmore finale, though admittedly there was no precedent for the famous cropduster attack. The fleeing man ultimately meets his doom atop the museum's dome. He reaches the top, then suddenly falls and disappears from view. Only the sound of breaking glass reveals his fate.
