 Early Hitchcock "Whodunnit", 2006-05-07

"Murder" certainly is one of the better of Hitchcock's 1930's films; it has an intricate plot , a steady build up of suspense, good acting and a dramatic finale. After a stage actress is killed ,seemingly by by one of her colleagues who is subsequently convicted of her murder, a veteran actor who served as the chief juror at her trial ,decides to launch his own investigation into the incident after having post-trial reservations about the case. There are some good scenes in the film, most notably the jury scene and the finale in the circus. "Murder" would have been worthy of a four star rating had it not been for the fuzzy sound and grainy picture, which made the film difficult to follow at times. I suppose this is to be expected of a 75 year old movie though. Maybe one day someone will digitally remaster it.
