Watched this movie and at the same time I could see a genius in his formative years where he would use many of the devices in other movies later in his illustrous career. The Hitchcock standards are here to see the wrong man accused, the icy but elegant blonde, the use of the train, the evil traitor, the climatic scene where it all comes together. The movie started a bit slow and was somewhat stage like but as it got going it was very entertaining. The stars were serviceable and yes Ms. Carrol was very fetching. Helpful people aiding the good people another recurring motif foreshadowing many a Hitchcock saga. A great little film not a classic but better than most out there.
