Blackmail

Blackmail
British International Pictures
28 July 1929
Crime Drama
DVD
D+

The first quarter hour of this early semi-talkie (which it looks like gets more violent and dramatic later) is mostly the dullest start to any Hitchcock movie I've ever seen, although I went up from a D because of, one, the cute Hitchcock cameo, and two, the joke about a movie-within-the-movie being directed by a criminal for authenticity.
