Film - Blackmail
A young woman kills an assailant and is then blackmailed by a witness, but Scotland Yard’s investigation is soon compromised. Britain’s first talkie, Blackmail includes outstanding sound experiments as well as some of Hitchcock’s characteristic themes.
‘With the success of Blackmail, Alfred Hitchcock became firmly established as the pre-eminent British director.’ – Charlotte Chandler
