Trailer Unavailable















     Murder!
1930  NR  DRAMA  1h 38min
CAST— Herbert Marshall, Norah Baring, Phyllis Konstom, Edward Chapman
MUSIC— John Reynders  DIRECTOR— Alfred Hitchcock  BASED ON— Enter Sir John (novel), by Clemence Dane and Helen Simpson

     Tedious melodrama involving (you guessed it) murder among a troupe of actors. One of the jurors on the panel, Sir John, reluctantly hands in a vote of “guilty” against the actress accused of the crime. But something doesn’t sit right; Sir John begins a one man investigation to prove her innocence. Interesting final scenes but overall dull Hitchcock picture.
OUR RATING— * ½
