Trivia:
This was Alfred Hitchcock's last film as director for British International Pictures, though he made one more film for them as producer: Lord Camber's Ladies (1932), directed by Benn W. Levy. more
Goofs:
Continuity: Hitchcock uses models quite well for the bus and train sequence, given the age of the film. However as the model train approaches the ferry it is seen to have about 8 carriages. When Doyle is being pursued across the carriages, it can be seen that there are many more than eight carriages - at least five behind the middle carriage (where Ben and Nora are) and at least five in front of this middle carriage. more

Other review comments here are accurate enough - slow start, somewhat confusing if you haven't at least read a short review first, decent (for the period) chase sequence toward end. Several entertaining moments, but overall you don't get to care anything about the characters. Unless you are a Hitchcock fan, this one can be skipped. The greatest entertainment in it is evaluating the techniques used as part of Hitchcock's body of work.
