    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This is the first movie directed by Sir Alfred Hitchcock in which he makes one of his trademark cameo appearances. Here, it's as "Extra in Newspaper Office". A modern source also has him standing in a crowd as the leading man is arrested.
    • Goofs
      (at around 24 mins) The Lodger (Ivor Novello) and Daisy (June Tripp) are playing a game of chess. The chess board is set up incorrectly, as the bottom-right square is black. This is most obvious when The Lodger is poking the coals in the fireplace.
    • Quotes

      Joe Betts: When I've put a rope round the Avenger's neck, I'll put a ring around Daisy's finger.

    • Crazy credits
      Closing credits: Thank you to everyone who supported the BFI's Silent Hitchcock restoration project.
    • Alternate versions
      The original version of The Lodger directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1926 was restored in 1999 in honor of the directors 100th anniversary. The film was restored by the British National Film & TV Archives and a new score by Ashley Irwin was commissioned by ZDF/ARTE (Germany) and premiered on August 13, 1999 (what would have been Hitchcock's 100th birthday).

    special
    it is a real special film. first - for the status of early Hitchcock. the second - for Ivor Novello performance who seems be more than a good one but the right piece for the balance of film. the story is predictable and this fact did it charming. because old themes are mixed with smart images. because the romanticism and the touching scenes reminds the popular literature of XIX century. because it is fresh and naive and seductive and dark. and because it is a fascinating clue for discover the art of its director in new and interesting perspective.
