The Pleasure Garden (1925)
Not much to say about this. Hitchcock's first movie, but not one typical
of him at all. A drama/romance about some chorus girls who work at a
theatre and the men they're involved with. Despite the story being
pretty much completely unremarkable, it was fairly entertaining, though
some of that might have just been the novelty (and some interesting
scenery - it was shot almost entirely in Germany). The cut I saw (from a
UK DVD; it's never been officially released on DVD in North America, as
far as I know) was only about an hour long, though apparently some
historians have recently uncovered an extra 20 minutes. I wouldn't be
all that excited to see it again, though.
