Reviews:
""Young and Innocent" is one of the best of Alfred Hitchcock's pre-Hollywood movies. It contains all of the features that characterized the finest of his British movies, and is (as many others have commented) a film often undeservedly overlooked amongst Hitchcock's large collection of classics.
The actors would all be unfamiliar to most contemporary American viewers, but it is a fine cast that does full justice to a good story, and that responds well to Hitchcock's expert direction. Derrick de Marney is engaging as the unjustly accused hero Robert Tisdall, and his character is balanced nicely by good performances from the rest of the cast (several of whom appeared in more than one of Hitchcock's British movies).
Despite the film's short length, it is filled with classic Hitchcock touches of detail, artistry, and humor, many of which are more low-key than those in his more familiar Hollywood films. It is worth watching several times in order to catch and appreciate all of the details. Three sequences are especially worth noting: (i) the renowned tracking shot at the climax of the film, which is not only a fine technical achievement but also an ideal way to set up the suspenseful conclusion; (ii) the birthday party in the middle, which encapsulates in very subtle ways most of the themes and contrasts of the movie, and (iii) the sequence towards the beginning involving the hero's conference with his lawyer, his court appearance, and his escape, a sequence which is filled with comic details too numerous to catch all at once (including one of the director's most humorous cameos).
Any Hitchcock fan should thoroughly enjoy "Young and Innocent". Beyond that, any fan of thrillers who can look past an unfamiliar cast, and who is willing to look for the subtle touches that characterized the great director's British work, will also find the film a satisfying experience."

Incredible how good this film looks. 85 years old and it looks like it was printed yesterday.
I’m feeling nostalgic for a pre ww2 rural England that I never knew, how much has changed and not for the better
Did you miss the entire jazz band in blackface at 1:13:08? I understand the impulse for nostalgia of a “simpler” time but there were a lot of horrors for many within that “simplicity”.
@@squarepeg4435 I don't think they were offending anyone at the time as there weren't many Africans around in England at that time. They were just 'being' something different.
that's what acting and performing is about. There are many more REAL LIFE horrors that exist in the present, or don't you think so?
@@andreeniem8780 You are very obviously not a person of color. I don’t even know where to start in responding to this. You “don’t think they were offending anyone”? Because minstrel shows were so standard? Because there were few people of color? If you truly believe this, I don’t even know where to begin.
When a group is systematically oppressed, regardless of who they are, and they are surrounded by daily reminders of it and grow accustomed to it, that doesn’t mean it isn’t incredibly damaging and painful. Blackface uses exaggerated features of African-Americans as the butt of a joke. Your contention that there were few people of color is precisely the issue. These minstrel shows & blackface are for WHITE audiences to mock black people. For some, these are the only encounters they had-these representations of black life that mocked and exaggerated a whole race. That is not “being something different”. That is the subjugation of other people for laughs. The harms from this are innumerable. And I do believe racism and the evils it produces are a “real life” horror.
Your reply hasn't come up in full here but it did on my email funnily enough.
I don't know how to reply to you either if you believe honestly that black people were SYSTEMATICALLY oppressed in 1940s and 50s Britain. Treated poorly or unfairly? Probably. But systematically, really? Not that there were many black people around in the Uk at this time, not just me saying it but that IS our history. What about the lower classes at the time? Do you think that they weren't oppressed or do you think it was totally a racist thing?
Racism is just one ism, classism, bigotry, sexism are others. People were (and are) unpleasant to others because of 'being foreign' but that could also be true for many other reasons, such as their background, their looks, their religion, their accent!,their behaviour whatever. To say that a specific group was systematically oppressed and not address all the other sections of the community that could also be considered as being systematically oppressed is at best disingenuous and at worst a outright insult to other people who don't fit in this particular category of racism but nevertheless also experienced ostracization from society. You think you are defending one group out of some sense of righteousness but at the expense of all the others.
You need to start looking at people more like individuals, that's my advice to you
Kay, I feel the same way... Although, I was born at the end of the war... I'm wondering, WHY you never knew ? Is it these old movies that make you feel nostalgic ? I'm curious ! 😍😊❤
The actress, Nora Pilbeam, lived round the corner from me up in Dartmouth Park, near Hampstead Heath, North London. She died on 17 July 2015 in London, aged 95. I used to run past her flat three days a week, and for years, without knowing this Hitchcock actress was upstairs, still sipping tea well into her 90s.
Nova Pillbeam. Not a conventional beauty, still rather pretty in her youth, her part in YOUNG AND INNOCENT is probably her finest hour. Tea sipping aside, an actress of limited talent but quite engaging in this role.
🤔 How very kewl is that!?
@@adrianovasconcelos2739 I have only seen her in this charming film.
@@MrResearcher122 I’ve got this film on dvd as well as her earlier one “The man who knew too much”. Both great movies. She made about 15 movies from 1934 to 1951.
Her husband was the great-grandson of the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson and an assistant director to Hitchcock. He died in a plane crash.
One of the things I admire very much about Hitchcock is his camera shots are so well composed and crystal clear. He can fill the screen with crowds of people and, yet, your attention and focus is never lost. He truly was a master of cinematography.
Although he doesn't seem to be too confident with the camera standing at the courthouse entrance at the 15:35 mark.
@@lsmart I always search for Hitchcock's cameo in his movies. This one was awesome. A bumbling cameraman. Haha.
That’s great to see Hitchcock in the scene outside the courthouse holding a camera!
Agree … I look to find him at the beginnings of all his films
This film never gets old. Hitchcock was a master at filmmaking.
Indeed he was. But somehow I like his preHollywoods better. The almost dancing dialogue in this one, if perhaps a trifle naïve, is quite delightful, and certainly well filmed.
The famous crane shot that sweeps down across the whole ballroom and then fills the screen with the blacked up drummer and his eyes twitch. What a masterpiece! In France they first saw this after the war at the Cinemathique and all the future film makers and critics of the French New Wave gave this shot a standing ovation.
J'adore ces films en noir et blanc c'est le bon vieux temps sans soucieux 😊
What a great dad. Such a nice relationship they had.
Yeap
Hitch filled this wonderful film with period comics and music hall personalities. The great Edward Rigby as 'old Will', the dad and scrawny little son at the petrol pump, the vagabond characters at the cheap lodging and the wonderful half blind 'defense consul. The two bumbling cops at the mill and so much more give the whole movie a wonderful period flavor.
I love her and the chemistry between them is rarely found in actors so young. Wonderful!
YES!
Lovely. The tracking scene in the restaurant at the end is a triumph. The eyes.
Extraordinarily tender and precious scenes from Hitchcock. I cannot recall the like. He must have had some very special feelings for one or both of these splendid young actors. Good for him. He was, after all, sheer genius.
Racism by Hitchcock w the black band.
Later in life Hitchcock shows his dislike for woman and misogyny
And yes you are correct in building suspense a genius. But that accurate statement is 1/2 or less of the story of Hitchcock
People sure used to pass out real easily back in the day (according to the movies).
OMG this was a fantastic movie! So much chemistry between the actors. Never a dull moment. Made 1937 feel like yesterday (anachronisms like the crank Morris car and the blackface on the band notwithstanding). Great story, funny too.
Blackface was the basis of one of the most popular British television musical programmes that ran for 20 years from 1958 to 1978. The performers were all "blacked-up" while they sang.
Even the dog was adorable and a good actor too!
Ah his was a true gem!
Many thanks for posting, always such a pleasure to watch Hitch's wonderful work.
Just whenI had almost forgotten, no one in the history of film had more different ways to introduce humour into a scene. Some of these moments here are wickedly delicious for usre. He destroys pretense and hypocrisy every chance he gets!
She.
so well said old chap!
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 Quite. Biggest hips in the business.
I was so excited to see Alfred Hitchcock in what must be one of his first cameo appearance near the beginning of the movie! I enjoyed his pictures over the years so much and this was another great one! Thank you, Artflix!!!
Lovely film, made in the good old days.😊
Hitchcock made brief appearances in most of his films. He is the photographer on the left at 15: 42 into the film. Very enjoyable film. Thank you for posting.
An absolutely wonderful suspenseful movie showing Hitchcock honing his craft. The mine collapse and escape is reminiscent of Eva Marie Saint hanging precariously off the side of Mount Rushmore in North By Northwest. Whether a Hitchcock movie is a masterpiece like Vertigo, or something less, it is always entertaining.
Its the actors. They are wonderful, esp the 2 stars, so glib and sweet and funny and charming. I'd give anything to have a voice like hers.
@@grandmalovesmebest I
Kh, yes. Gee, now I like this movie as much as wondderful North By Northwest!
Been wanting to see this again for ages--can't believe it's here TY!
Wonderfully improbable but what a joy in every way! I laughed so many times, the humour and fun, terrific characters. Thank you very much for this gift
Apparently I'm gonna be snowed in. What a great way to spend it.
I love short teleplays like this. They make your mind work, and are vastly entertaining! Everyone dressed decently and had good acting.
I taped this for my mother 25 years ago.
They probably won't show it on TV now because the drummer is blacked up.
Just bought a DVD with three of Hitch's movies, this was one of them.
Wonderful early Hitchcock work with comic moments aplenty and two particularly stunning sequences: the car falling into the mineshaft and the long tracking shot leading up to the blinking musician. Superb photography, lovely English countryside, top grade Derrick de Marney (never understood why this actor did not become more famous). Thank you for sharing
Yes, indeed. The long tracking shot reminds me of the scene in To Catch a Thief during the ball where Hitchcock did almost the same thing.
Both British and American studios were reluctant to cast gay actors in those days.
@@Hijodelaisla Sir Michael Redgrave, Sir Noel Coward, Sir John Gielgud, Sir Dirk Bogarde, Ivor Novello, Eric Portman and countless others had highly successful film careers in that era.
@@LakeConstan I didn't say they didn't.
What a charming film. Utter joy! Good old Hitchcock. Have always loved his work.
Very good early Hitchcock film from 1937 which I hadn't seen before. Nova Pilbeam had been in The Man Who Knew Too Much in 1934. Some lovely humour in this film and Hitchcock's usual cameo, as a man with a camera outside the court house. I like the actor Edward Rigby (1879-1951) who plays Will the kind-hearted tramp who repairs china, nice humour with him when they go to the tea dance and he is unsure what to do or what type of tea to order. Good laughs too with the bumbling policemen and the useless lawyer. Hitchcock was afraid of policemen, dating back to an incident during his east London childhood when a bobby put him in a cell briefly even though he had done nothing wrong. The suspense builds nicely and the cinematography is spot-on, great scene where the camera zooms in on the drummer revealing his twitching eyes and the collapsing mine shaft scene is also well done. Great old cars too. Well worth watching.
Ooh how exciting! I always enjoy seeing Derrick de Marney. The print is absolutely outstanding.
Thanks AF, *You're the best, simply the best!*

Yes, de Marney is really charming...I wonder why I've not seen him i more films - or even just one.
Love this film. Opening scene where the gent goes onto the balcony among the cliffs reminds me of the Cliff House in the village of Ogunquit in Wells, Maine. It’s a dead ringer. And the heroes in these early Hitchcocks are always so insouciant & resourceful. Great humor!
I had forgotten what an utterly charming film this is. Thank you for the upload.
Delightful, positively charming, and well done. Nova Pilbeam and Derrick De Marney are wonderful. Thank you.
I loved the snooty upper class accents of the boys at the dinner table. Lesser public school, you know.
Nothing more lovely than the English countryside.
Wow this is only the 2nd movie I’ve actually sheen Alfred Hitchcock the director in-it took me to watch this classic 💎 gem after many years to see! What an awesome film❣️Thank you for uploading ❣️💖

I'd never seen this Hitchcock film. He's my favorite director. I love how he incorporates comedy into the drama of the story, and I particularly love his signature cameo in each of his films. Did YOU see him in this one?🤔😉😁
I was just going to mention this. But I was going to point his cameo out: it's better to ask, and let people watch for it.
Very funny seing mr Alfred as cameo shot very young and little peace of camera.😅
Fabulous!!!! Enjoyed immensely! Thank you so much! This film was made 20 years before I was born! That's incredible. And also incredible, is the fact that I've only just discovered & watched this classic jewel! I'm a HUGE classic, retro film groupie. Love! Also prefer the original black & white... grey movies, as my children accuse me of habitually watching. I'm also a major Hitchcock fan. So, I can't believe this movie escaped me all these years. Thanks again. Absolutely perfect! I'm surfing for my next film, right now.

@@ArtflixMovieClassics Thank you! You've actually just kick-started, remembrance mode, in my mind, about, Sir Alan Bates. I'd tucked him away somewhere. However, your suggestion, has reignited, & reminded me, of this actor's brilliance! Stage to screen, he was smoothly slyly engagingly unexpectedly amazing. He was so versatile, and talented, and caught one unawares, like smoke surrounding & engulfing audiences, with his unique magnetism. A very best kept secret. Thank you for the reminder & jogging memory.
This is a great film. One of the best Hichtcock's talkie before going to Hollywood. Maybe my favorite Favorite Hichtcock - pre-USA film could be "The 39 Steps" but this one is also great. Always enjoyable to watch a Hichtcock's film. Thanks so much for uploading it 🎥🎥🎥
Really enjoyed that, thankyou x
Hitchcock at 15:36.
TY
Young woman did a great crying scene.
Thanks!
Did you find Alfred Hitchcock?? You know, he always makes an appearance in his own movies. Check out 15:38.
I believe he may be playing Sargent Ruddick as well.
Oh yes that’s him at 15:38!
Yes, I thought so too.
What a thrilling movie they won't them like this anymore

Love the classic s excellent ❤
what an awful blackfacing. I've never seen it done this way. glad those times have passed.
To err is human....to forgive...Divine.
Thanks
Lots of similarities to The 39 Steps
Basil Radford, playing Erica's Uncle Basil in this, is best known, perhaps, for his roles in The Lady Vanishes (1938) and Jamaica Inn (1939), both directed by Hitchcock.
The Chief Constable's resignation letter is dated August 17th, 1937. How is that even possible?
Omg OMG, what a clever flick! Couldn't do it today.
Actually they do things like this in our century only someone plants people in an area they don't belong to start race wars. Evil men are still on earth !
Not as much high tension and suspense like most of his other movies but still a nice story.
Oh wow, Derrick de Marney looks just like Timothee Chalamet.
Excellent entertainment from start to finish.
I noticed that the main man never 👎 put himself in danger. He pawned it off on the smaller man. 😡😡😡😠😠😠😳😳😳😱😱😱
Dammm Good Movie!!!!!!!
A great addition!
From 1:12. The longest tracking shot in movie history. All the way from a long shot of the hotel foyer up to his twitching face.
Very enjoyable and the dog was a good actor

Fantastic movie…loved the cat chases. Subscribed 👍
Can anyone advise of another early Hitchcock Film as wonderful as this? His later films are great but seem to lack the sense of humour.
Same era. 1938. "The Lady Vanishes'. That's all I'll tell you.
@@MikeGreenwood51 Love "The Lady Vanishes" !
"The 39 Steps." 👍
did you see Alfie around the 15 40 min mark? His signature appearance...
He does that in his every movies
@@heisenberg7099 yes; indeed as I mentioned..
Standing outside with the cap on
A Candle For Sixpence is the title of the book byJosephine Tay is what Young And Innocent is based on. Love them both. Wish Hitchcok had filmed Brat Ferrar and especially To Love And Be Wise also by Josephine Tay. Hitchcock would have fun for him. Wen I first read the book I immedia toy thought of Hilda Swan in the film Orlando, she had the face for the camera to play with.
"A Shilling for Candles'.
This movie got me into trouble.
Ok. You have to explain that.
Good flick, the 3 slaps in the face in the beginning was precious. They both looked like they were ready to crack up. Tku for post.
One of my favourite films, love to the song too.
Have watched this before - years ago, Good to find it again. Very good viewing. Thanks for posting.
Smooth and entertaining! Thanks!

What a charming young woman.
The Girl was Young.1931.([Hitchcock] 6.8
An innocent person accused - one of Hitchcock's favorite themes - i.e. Cary Grant in North by Northwest, Robert Cummings in Saboteur, Gregory Peck in Spellbound, and Grace Kelly in Dial M for Murder. An intelligent film without Hollywood's current Woke nonsense.
Notice a very fat Hitchcock standing in the crowd by the outside door just after the prisoner escapes the courtroom. A delight to see him so young.
They probably couldn't find ten black men in all of Britain in 1937 hence the need for the blackface band members.
❤❤❤
I think he needs water to drink instead of food to eat. A person is able to survive for a very long time without food but only a day or two without water. He will die of dehydration with out any water to drink. So according to that he would have already been dead for at least a day. 🤔🤔🤔😳😳😖😖😖
That's eighteen new pence I believe.
Two gallons of petrol at one and six a gallon, that fifteen pence, or three bob in English money.
