What to expect
The surviving material is notable as an early Graham Cutts production on which Alfred Hitchcock worked, but its fragmentary state should not be mistaken for a complete Hitchcock film.
How to ease in
Only part of the film survives. Watch the available reels for visual contrasts and doubling, then stop where the evidence stops rather than inventing the missing whole.
Heads-up
Twin sisters associated with opposing temperaments enter a melodrama of family division, nightlife, and mistaken identity.
A fragment can reveal craft without revealing the completed argument. I enjoy the visual doubling while keeping a firm boundary between what survives and what a later reputation tempts us to imagine.
