Hitchcock’s original rendition of the melodramatic tale of a child’s kidnap and recovery from spies trying to ensure her father’s silence! While on holiday in Switzerland, Jill Lawrence and her husband accidentally become involved in murder and intrigue, when an undercover Secret Service agent whispers the whereabouts of a vital message to Lawrence, as he lies dying from a gunshot wound. Besides affirming Hitchcock’s genius, it gave the brilliant Peter Lorre his first English-speaking role as (what else!) a slithery villain.
