Today's feature is a crime thriller from Alfred Hitchcock's pre-Hollywood career. He explores his frequent theme of an innocent man on the run helped here by a young and innocent teenage daughter of an English police constable. Hitch's cameo is at 15:29-15:46, making perhaps his longest cameo that I can remember from any of his films.

That black-face! I don't even understand why it was stylish but it
was clearly not meant to be racist. Imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery.

Thanks for the link. This movie was fun to watch. I'd never seen
this Hitchcock before.
