Juno and the Paycock (1930)

Very few have anything positive to say about this adaptation of the fairly well respected play written by Sean O’Casey.  Hitchcock and his wife, Alma Reville, were hired by the studio to put the stage on the screen, so to speak, but the story does not translate well into film. 

It follows an indigent family as they inherit a large sum of money from a forgotten relative.  Hitchcock was bound by contract to do the film, and the budget was tight, and he was a very young filmmaker, and the industry of “talkie” films was still in it’s geneses, and so on and so forth.  Regardless of the excuses, it’s still probably the worst film in the available Hitchcock library.

(Written and directed by Hitchcock)
