Beautiful quality print. I watched it with 20's jazz playing. Thanks for uploading.
So incredible to have the opportunity to see this in such a fine print so lovingly restored
Images rather than words, even in the silent era.
I am absolutely with everybody else - where’s the music? It tells the story too! 😢
This is just the kind of stuff I live for. Beautiful print. Thanks so much for posting.
I liked this picture. For me it's a story about a good boy, who lived in a rich family, lived in no trouble and grown as a sweet, idealistic young man, who believed people. Most part of his lived with equal young people, had great future and saw no harm from others. And suddenly he faced the real world, where people can go over the heads in order to save themselves. At first that girl from the shop and his "friend". There is not even a slight mention about his friend at least trying to find something out about the hero. Then father, who mostly thought about "what would people say" instead of trying to actually find out what happened. He did not even try to listen to his son. Then his wife who saw a harmless, trustful and in love with her young man and took advantage and etc. He never before met people, who can do everything for money, jewelries and etc. For him money have much less value. At the end his world was totally ruined. He was not used to the reality.
For me it's a picture about how our actions, decisions and actions, decisions can influence or even ruin ours and others lives. And we sometimes do not understand it.
It's a picture about how cruel life can be to trustful and sweet people, who honor friendship, true love and etc.
Ivor Novello was 34 when he played an 18 year old schoolboy in this film. Of course the same is still true today when teenagers are often played by actors in their twenties.
Te difference is that he LOOKED 18.
The girls wanted/want to see the beautiful Novello as a student, not a real student.
Where's the music? The music tells part of the story. It was in there originally.
It's a beautiful story about honor and dignity! I loved the way Hitchcock artistically reflected the 'downhill' (stairs, subway, elevator, etc.). Brilliant! Great cast, and great image quality! Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to make it a review for my Writing Blog! :-)
Wonderful movie! Thanks for posting.
Ivor was an actor. Pianist. Singer Composer. Outrageously good looking. And gay.
👏👏👏👏👏thanks for posting
Superb print. This version obviously made from an original 35mm print, and it is copied here brilliantly.
One great old movie.👍
IT is a superb print. Fantastic. But it is very sad, that there is no music track added. WHY NOT? This kind of high class restorations always are released on Blu Ray/ DVD with at least one music score added, sometimes with two.
Superb restoration. But no thanks for include intrusive images in the final shot and the end title card.
An orange movie with no music.
Nice!
As all the other comments say, a very good print copy. And I'm glad I didn't watch this expecting a good story.... Just some slightly interesting history of Hitchcock. The story tells us that a betrayal by a girl,and a father's turning away, led to an inability to operate one's own life. What a crock! He was dumb as a sack of hammers. Glad there is Fast Forward.
Yes! It was all those women who dragged him down! Typical...
Is without Soundtrack, isn't it?
Yes come to think of it I first got to see this film in Germany in 2003. I have seen it a few times since and every time it was without a score. I never really gave it much thought until then.
Robert Manners there’s a version with the score included on the Criterion release of The Lodger.
Can’t watch a silent without a score - piano at least. Like being deaf.
Amazing copy. Pristine! A bit disconcerting there is no music, as would have been when released at cinemas.
I thought there would be music with it
When a penny could buy a lot.
240 to a pound and 480 halfpennies. I've a farthing dated 1945 so what was that like in 1927?
But not that much. That's why all the little boys were queuing up to buy the same box of chocolates for a ha'penny. Don't forget this film was made after the inflation of the Great War and the early twenties.
Half/Penny
I don't really buy the ending here. There's no telling the length of time Roddy was going through all that stuff. Between the time he was expelled and his return home can't have been long enough to get right back to school by the "next term." Just doesn't sit right with me. Other than that, AH never fails to give me the creeps, e.g., Roddy's opium-induced hallucinations...awful! (I was a little surprised there was no soundtrack?)
I wish there were an equally good print of Jamaica Inn, also silent and from the same time frame. Last time I checked it was so bad, almost unwatchable.
"Jamaica Inn", Hitchccock's last film before he moved to Hollywood, is not a silent film.
@@nicholasreid1836 OK. Still a restoration would be most welcome.
@@Khamomil Yes, I do not disagree. I am in the happy position of having seen all 57 feature films Hitchcock made, from "The Pleasure Garden" to "Family Plot" [except for "Waltzes From Vienna", which I have never sighted.] Admittedly some of the silents are badly in need of restoration.
@@degamispoudegamis Danggonnit! It's only a trailer and no way of seeing the full movie!
Of course! I'd even pay to watch it.
The woman in the dance palais, who hears his story--looks like a man in drag. Am I mistaken about that?
Hitchcock showing early genius. A flawed film however. The script is rubbish.
96 years old & the women are still the same as today's gold diggers.
Bootleg eh? Thus, stealing from the people who did such a good restoration. For shame.
