Wissenswertes
Alfred Hitchcock: Outside the courthouse holding a camera as Robert Tisdall (Derrick De Marney) escapes (at about 0:16:10).

Patzer
(at around 50 mins) When Erica Burgoyne and Robert Tisdall have taken refuge at night in a small town by parking her car next to a siding just before where the railroad underpasses a bridge, the entire scene has been staged and shot as an obvious miniature as revealed by three mistakes:
the somewhat jerky motion and unnatural lighting of an automobile (indicating that it was pulled) as it moves across the bridge above the railroad
the express train speeding under the bridge drags a length of cord behind it as it disappears from view
the camera tracking in closer to the parked automobile hidden in the shelter of freight trains on sidings reveals that the figures of Erica and Robert are actually modeled and painted figurines, motionless until the shot suddenly changes to a medium closeup shot of the two actors.

Zitate

Erica Burgoyne: Father, don't you think we ought to ask Mr. Tisdall to dinner?

Wonderful Hitchcock Fare

A truly charming film from the Master of Suspense. Being a rather huge Hitch fan, I recently sought out some lesser known films from his early period. Of those I viewed ("Number 17," & "Murder!" among others) this one was my favorite--among the best of his Pre-Hollywood films. There is the usual mixture of humor and suspense, some nice camera work (including a wonderful precursor to the "key-in-hand" shot of "Notorious"), and most importantly, Nova Pilbeam. I'm not sure how this actress managed to play her scenes SO appealingly, and yet managed to have fallen SO completely off the acting radar. How many people today have her name rattling about their cerebral attic? Virtually none, I'd hazard, and yet she is terrific here--worth the effort of finding the video for her performance alone.

This film certainly is not in the same league as Hitch's best, but still is vastly superior to the average suspense film coming out of Hollywood today--or any other day, for that matter.
