Hitchcock converts Noël Coward’s stage melodrama into an early study of presumed guilt, social surveillance, and the visual transmission of scandal. Its sharpest passages already show his interest in making information itself suspenseful.
Comment aborder le film

Larita changes countries, clothes, and company, yet other people keep editing her life back to one accusation. I notice how often the film makes looking feel like a form of prosecution.
