Viewing Notes

Filling in some gaps in my Hitchcock filmography. Hitchcock stepped in to co-direct and co-produce this short after the original director was let go for creative differences. This is actually a pretty funny short. This is the earliest film available that Hitchcock directed because NUMBER 13 was never finished and THE MOUNTAIN EAGLE is a lost film.
