Analyisis and comedic take on the 1928 thriller Blackmail directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It was two...two...two films in one. If was first filmed as a silent film but Hitchcock's studio recently obtained sound equipment so key scenes were completely refilmed to make it a sound picture. Leading lady Anny Andra had a thick East European accent so a British actress stood out of camera site saying her lines into a microphone while Andra mouthed them on camera. The story follows the girlfriend of a police detective who kills a man that was attempting to rape her, and they find themselves blackmailed by a petty thief. The boyfriend steers the investigation toward the blackmailer and we have a chase climaxing in the domed library of a museum. The Hitchcock cameo is one of his funniest and longest, so stay vigilant because you don't want to miss a second of it.
