Complete Record: Superb example of the Hitchcock style. The tale of a man framed for murder by a spy ring, then forced to flee both police and the enemy agents. Demonstrates Hitchcock’s techniques in establishing authentic natural backgrounds, dramatic use of minor characters, and his lively grasp of narrative.
