Just a bad movie...

The film is quite confusing overall, with a story that seems very messy. The characters are also not exactly fascinating, with the homeless person in particular being on the annoying side. Furthermore, Hitchcock uses some horribly bad close-ups of that homeless person, which made even the film as a whole a bit annoying. And one more thing: I thought I saw a train passing by the window, while they were on the 2nd floor... Seems strange to me! The final scene is still acceptable, I'm talking about the scene with that train that drives into that boat at breakneck speed. That looked very neat for a film from 1932.

Short but powerful crime thriller about a drifter [Leon M. Lion] and an observant detective [John Stuart] who stumble upon a corpse in an empty, dilapidated house and become involved with a gang of jewel thieves. Hitchcock's shadow play is immediately reminiscent of Nosferatu, while the role of a female infiltrator and the presence of handcuffs foreshadow The 39 Steps. Unpretentious and cheaply made, but with a playing time of barely 60 minutes and a frantic pace, that should hardly spoil the fun.

Hitchcock from the Platinum box this Sunday, and although a good Hitchcock always scores very well with me, this one was very disappointing, if not the worst Hitchcock I've seen, a title reserved for the also not best Topaz.

A flaw that the film itself can do little about is the pitiful quality of this product on DVD. It creaks, beeps, is out of focus, and there's a bar code of some sort constantly in the top left of the screen. It could be surmountable if the film didn't immediately make a lousy impression with the highly bland and annoying character Ben the bum. His bumbling is already such a sore point and irritation that the film is actually spoiled right away, and then I omit the terms bland, monotonous and uninteresting.

The change of location is good, the bland shadow play in the house is fortunately exchanged for a train with quite a complicated and largest apotheosis for 1932 concepts, even though ship, train and truck are of course miniature. Something that must of course be seen in the image of time. Fortunately, the playing time of over an hour is not too long and the hand of the master can be seen in a number of beautiful shots in the house, playing with light, dark and shadow. It is now clear that Number 17 as a whole does not want to fascinate and this turns out to be the least of the Hitchcock oeuvre so far.
