Murder! (1930)
One of Hitchcock's early works...it's quite good, but you can tell he still hadn't quite mastered his craft at this point. The ending is stunning and there are lots of unique and well played ideas throughout - I especially liked the reuse of Hamlet's famous ruse, and Sir John's logic for believing Baring to be innocent - but the action drags horribly in places, the editing was very shoddy, and some of the actors were depressingly dull.
I liked it overall, but it's not one of Hitch's best. Worth a watch though.
