Plot
A man accused of murder gets help from a policeman's daughter.
Sinekatalog’s take
Hitchcock's 1937 chase thriller follows a wrongly accused man aided by a policeman's daughter. Light, quick and charming, with a famous crane shot into a villain's twitching eyes, it is minor but fun.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
