Young And Innocent DVD

A film by Alfred Hitchcock

Hitchcock's oft-overlooked thriller Young and Innocent is a strikingly photographed and tautly-plotted thriller which preempts later hits The Birds and North by Northwest both narratively and visually. Following the story of Hitchcock's favourite character archetype, the innocent man accused, the great director creates a high-stakes thriller imbued with humour, romance andof coursesuspense. When Robert Tisdall notices the body of a young woman washed up on a beach, he rushes to get help. Tragically, his benevolent act is misconstrued by two sunbathers, who take his speedy exit as a sign of his guilt and accuse him of murder. Now on a run from the law, Tisdall seeks the help of Erica, daughter of the local police chief, who agrees to help him clear his name. As the two close in on the real killer, their relationship starts to blossom...
