Review of Rich and Strange (1931) by Daniel P — 29 Jul 2007

This is a great movie that, it would appear, next to no one has seen. What a shame - I'm only the 90th Flixster review? My first Hitchcock - that's right, not Vertigo, Psycho, Rear Window, Birds or anything later. Though the acting in this one is a little rough, it's a movie with a decent plot device (though it takes some time to unfold), and you can see the early development of some of the suspense builders the filmmaker will make his trademark in his late career. I can't wait to watch him mature over the course of his work.

Please, I know most members on this site are too young to know who Alfred Hitchcock is, and alas, there are no robots or doomsday scenarios, but watch this movie!
