Plot

A man in London is framed for a murder and flees across Scotland while trying to uncover a spy ring.

Sinekatalog’s take

Hitchcock's early chase thriller is brisk, witty and surprisingly modern. Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll spark, and its template of a wrongly accused man on the run shaped decades of suspense films.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
