THE LODGER: A STORY OF THE LONDON FOG (1927) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Alfred Hitchcock

Written by - Eliot Stannard, Alfred Hitchcock (based on the novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes)

Starring - Ivor Novello

"A landlady suspects her lodger is a serial killer of young women in London. Early Hitchcock is once again plagued by a poor screenplay. That, however, make the impressive visual work and the building of an intense and suspenseful atmosphere all the more remarkable. It is for that reason, perhaps, that this is widely regarded as Hitchcock's first Hitchcockian film."
