Despite a jovial poster anybody expecting to find a lot of laughs in this film will be sorely mistaken. Juno and the Paycockquickly descends into depression. When hedonism makes way for reality the final ten minutes of this one sees a whole heap of action. The film, famously based on the successful play of the same name by Seán O’Casey, stars the l...
Part of five unhappy years at Elstree studios, Hitchcock’s Champagneis a vibrant reflection of 1920s high-life and is worth a watch if only for the historical documentation. Otherwise, a light romantic melodrama still offered Hitchcock to provide some sinister shadowy moments. The silent comedy, starring Betty Balfour, Gordon Harker and Jean Bradin...
Staying with the silent works of Hitchcock’s earliest creations, Easy Virtue is a romantic picture which was loosely based on the 1924 play Easy Virtueby Noël Coward. The first half of the film, an addition detailing events only described in the play, is pure Hitchcock, aside from that the film is a more hackneyed effort. Far removed from his later...
Hitchcock’s comedy-thriller starring John Stuart, Anne Grey and Leon M. Lion, was based on the 1925 burlesque stage play of the same name by Joseph Jefferson Farjeon. Another Hitchcock stage adaptation sees perhaps one of his most curious. A synopsis that would send most critics heads spinning, the crude craftmanship lets down the story a little. H...

It again shows the huge promise of a young and budding director in a compelling story which revolves around two rival families. Hitchcock, showing his respect for the art of cinema f...
The film was adapted by Hitchcock, his wife Alma Reville, and Val Valentine from the novel by Dale Collins. The film, also known as Rich and Strange, was a box office flop but it sees Hitchcock now fully immersed in his vision begin to enact his style ever so much more assertively. Official Film Synopsis: “Accountant Fred Hill (Henry Kendall) and h...
Back into some of his earliest works, this silent comedy starring the likes of Jameson Thomas, Lillian Hall-Davis and Gordon Harker, was adapted from a play of the same name by iconic British novelist, poet and playwright Eden Phillpott. The feature film is a charming and rustic, semi-romantic comedy from the silent picture era. Though it may not b...
This was Hitchcock’s first-ever film as a director to be completed and it is indicative of his huge talent and potential. Despite its age, and therefore somewhat primitive production, the young Hitch does a superb job of telling the story of Patsy. Even in his earliest film, there were signs that greatness was only around the corner. Speaking about...
The final silent feature film from Hitch was a doozy. A beautifully shot flick sees Hitchcock use two stars who would become more important to him in his career, with Carl Brisson and Anny Ondra taking starring roles. Despite its age, the film still has a decidedly modern tone and even allows for more extensive thought regarding the idea of moralit...
The idea of a classic melodrama is a bit silly to modern audiences. Despite a reduction of inter-titles looking back at silent films can sometimes feel a touch ludicrous. While some of that is in play for When Boys Leave Home, Hitch manages to sew it all up together and make it a suitably enjoyable watch to this day. Hitchcock builds anarrative com...
