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.

I think it’s one of the more underrated or at least underappreciated of Hitchcock’s 1930s films.

This comment may contain SPOILERS for those who’ve not seen it yet:

I thought the blackface sequence at the end added a lot of suspense since we saw the actress’ husband in the opening scene twitch his eyes.
