a pretty rough watch, hitchcock’s early stuff can be charming in a “look how scrappy this is” kind of way, but this one mostly feels chaotic without the fun. the pacing is all over the place, the plot is weirdly confusing for how simple it actually is, and the comedy doesn’t really land. you can see bits of hitchcock’s style trying to break through, but it never clicks into something memorable. kind of interesting as a curiosity, not so much as a movie.

Yea, not that good. The plot is already disjointed and then you add in 3 people who look nearly identical so the end scene is basically impossible to follow. Funny fight scene though

At this point it feels more like I’m rating the plays rather than the films. Hitchcock’s directing is always competent but some of the stories he worked on back then are nothing special. Some of the visuals here are actually interesting compared to much of the family rom-drom-coms he directed.
