His first sound film, about a woman who kills a man in self-defence.
Sinekatalog’s take
Hitchcock's first sound film, a tense tale of a woman who kills in self-defence, is clever and innovative. The British Museum chase and inventive use of sound make it an early landmark.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
