A good movie

Since I'm a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock's work, I was really eager to check this flick. Apparently, it is his oldest movie I have seen so far (almost 80 years old now!) and, I must confess, I'm not a huge fan of his very old British features. I mean, they are old pretty good and entertaining, that's for sure, but except for 'The Lady Vanishes' which really impressed me, none of them actually blew me away and this movie was not an exception. It seems that it is a very popular story since it has been adapted 4 times already and, apparently, this version is the most acclaimed one. Basically, it is one of those many British spy movies Hitchcock made back in those days and even though I enjoyed it, I couldn't shake the thought that he was still rehearsing before creating all his masterpieces he made in the 40's and the 50's. Still, this movie is considered as a major British film of its time so I might re-watch it at some point in the future to make up my mind for good. To conclude, even though it didn't really blow me away, it is still a very entertaining vintage spy feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Hitchcock's work.
