Down-on-his-luck writer Derrick De Marney (Things to Come<\/em>, Uncle Silas<\/em>) gets even worse-on-his-luck when he discovers a dead associate on the beach and witnesses assume he murdered her. The cops have got a suspect with motive (she left him inheritance), so no reason to do any further investigating. So Derrick escapes, hides out with police chief’s daughter Nova Pilbeam (who I also liked in The Man Who Knew Too Much<\/a><\/em>), convinces her of his innocence.<\/p>\n

Second Hitchcock movie I’ve seen with an old mill – the scene in Foreign Correspondent<\/a><\/em> was better. Close calls as they journey to locate Derrick’s stolen raincoat to prove that it’s not the same raincoat that murdered the woman, or something I dunno, doesn’t matter because in 1937 all men’s raincoats looked the same so it’d hardly be evidence of anything. They flee from Nova’s constable dad (Percy Marmont of Hitch’s Secret Agent<\/em>) and her horrible aunt (Mary Clare of The Lady Vanishes<\/em> and the silent non-Hitch The Skin Game<\/em>), get help from the bum with the raincoat (Edward Rigby of A Canterbury Tale<\/a><\/em>), and finally track down the twitchy, blackfaced (argh) murderer (George Curzon of Q Planes<\/em>, Jamaica Inn<\/em>). It’s all a good bit of fun, if not as outstanding as The Lady Vanishes<\/a><\/em> and The 39 Steps<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
