Murder! (Hitchcock, 1930): Castle Cinema, 7.30pm
This Cine-Real screening is a 16mm presentation.
Chicago Reader review:
This early sound film by Alfred Hitchcock (1930) finds him already
experimenting with interior monologues and distorted sound effects. The
story, of a stage actor (Herbert Marshall) who’s determined to prove a
young girl innocent of murder, is one of the first, tentative statements
of Hitchcock’s theme of obsessional love. Hitchcock was still marking
out his territory at this point, and the film is heavy and vague around
the edges. But it remains a crucial insight into the development of one
of the cinema’s greatest artists, and so, essential viewing.
