"Lost" film?? edit

An incomplete print of this film has just turned up in New Zealand with the local media trumpeting that "no other copy of this movie is known to exist". But IMDB.com and Wikipedia don't have it listed as a "lost" film and at least one IMDB user claims to have seen the film. What gives?

Most authoritative sources I've seen (e.g. McGilligan's "Darkness and Light") list it as a lost film. From memory, very few of the films Hitchcock worked on between 1920 and 1925 exist, and even those are mostly incomplete prints. Davepattern (talk) 06:43, 4 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hitchcock or Cutts? edit

BBC.co.uk hails it as a "lost Hitchcock film"... how big was Hitch's actual part in the making of the movie? -- megA (talk) 08:06, 4 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Did you read the article I posted the link to?

"At just 24 years old, Alfred Hitchcock wrote the film's scenario, designed the sets, edited the footage, and served as assistant director to Graham Cutts, whose professional jealousy toward the gifted upstart made the job all the more challenging."

No. And now I don't need to anymore. Thanks. -- megA (talk) 09:49, 21 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
