One of Hitchcock's very early works, the film is only an hour long. the plot is a mess, too many questions remained unanswered in the end. Sometimes you'll have no idea what the characters are actually doing. The acting is below average and has too much influence of stage acting, which is not perhaps unusual in those days.
But Hitchcock still manages to keep the viewer interested till the end with his mastery of creating suspense. Some of his cinematographic styles became trademark shots of suspense thrillers and are being used till this age. In this film Hichcock also uses abundant action sequences and also a few outdoor shots. In the end, the story may leave you clueless, but if you are a fan of Mr. Hitchcock, you might not want to leave it behind.
