Join us for a special 100th anniversary screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s first feature film, with live piano accompaniment from Steven Gellatly. The film will be introduced by Matthew Jarron, Curator of the University of Dundee Museum Collections. The film follows the fortunes of two chorus girls with very different attitudes to life, shifting from backstage comedy in a seedy London theatre to full-blooded steamy melodrama in colonial Africa.
The picture was made in Germany with location filming in Italy. Shooting was beset with difficulties, and the young Hitchcock was forced to borrow money from the cast and crew to get it finished. Yet many of his enduring themes are already present here, including theatrical artifice, dual personalities, voyeurism and obsession.
