Viewing Notes

First movie watched for the Hitchcock film class I’m taking online. Located this one through the Open Culture website which has links to public domain films online.

It can be difficult to adjust one’s attention span to accommodate silent film these days but this one did a great job of holding my interest. A pretty straightforward story but told well through the medium.
