Review of Juno and the Paycock (1930) by Mark S — 29 Sep 2011
The 1930s started off with a bit of a whimper for Hitchcock. From what I've heard this is a faithful adaptation of Sean O'Casey's play, but pretty much any director could have filmed it. It lacks the cinematic touches and suspense of his later films.
In fact the direction is surprisingly amateurish from Hitch, with there being numerous instances where he even cut off the heads of the actors talking!! The story itself was quite interesting but for one reason or another I don't think it came across very well in this film.
