Hitchcock's 'Blackmail' on TCM at 6:30 tonight.
Blackmail - Hitchcock's and England's first talking movie from 1929. I've never seen this one and am looking forward to it.

Thanks for the heads up, just turned it on. Doesn't seem to be much talking though!

Anny Ondra had to be dubbed. Listen how Hitchcock plays with sound during the breadknife scene.
