Brother Donald Sinden tries to find the boy and take him back to Britain. This melodrama, directed by Graham Cutts, is the only surviving complete film on which Alfred Hitchcock worked as art director. Sadly, Hitchcock also wrote the script in which a poor violinist falls for a middle-European princess. When revolution comes to the country he rescues her, but is wounded and so can no longer play. The crowd scenes impress and it never looks less than fabulous.
Script adapt .
A blackmailer goes to work. She's easy prey, particularly since her boyfriend is high up in Scotland Yard. Anny Ondra had such a strong European accent she had to mime to Joan Barry standing just off camera. Script adapt . Valerie Hobson is the titular governess in this melodrama that's as lurid as its Technicolor.
