Young and Innocent (1937), produced by Edward Black and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is a tense British thriller that blends suspense, romance, and a gripping chase narrative. The film follows Robert Tisdall, a young man wrongly accused of murdering a famous actress. When the police dismiss his pleas of innocence, he escapes custody and teams up with Erica, the daughter of the local police chief, to uncover the real killer. As they piece together the mystery, they encounter a web of misdirection and danger, culminating in one of Hitchcock’s most iconic sequences involving a dramatic crane shot in a crowded hotel ballroom. With sharp pacing and classic Hitchcock touches, Young and Innocent is a compelling example of his early mastery of the suspense genre.
