Starring: Ivor Novello, Marie Ault, Arthus Chesney, Malcolm Keen, June Tripp
Screenplay by Eliot Stannard
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Look into Ivor Novello’s haunted, kohl-rimmed eyes in Hitch’s most overtly Hitchcockian silent film, and you can see generations of matinee idols coming full circle. Willowy and wounded-looking, Novello was the Robert Pattinson of his day, and his gracefully on-edge performance […] is as intriguing as the director’s resourceful formulation of suspense techniques that would later become his bread and butter. – Time Out
Gripping and powerful. A woman screaming. A montage of images. A policeman taking down notes. A silent thriller based on the 1913 novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes, inspired by the Jack the Ripper murders in 1888. Directed by a young Alfred Hitchcock, it is many times regarded as ‘the first true Hitchcock movie’.
