SnoopyStyle Actress Christine Clay and her husband are arguing in their cliff top house. The next morning, her friend Robert Tisdall finds her dead body on the beach and runs off to get help. Two girls see him running and accuse him of being the murderer. He faints during police interrogation and the chief constable's daughter Erica Burgoyne helps revive him. His lawyer is incompetent and he escapes from court. As the police go on a manhunt, he finds Erica with her broken down car.Derrick De Marney does a puppy dog face while Nova Pilbeam does a spunky young woman. There isn't any actual mystery since it starts with the suspect husband. It's questionable why she would not turn him in right away even if she believes his innocence. It depends too much on the love at first sight idea. It's too quick. It would be better if there is more to her reasoning. The couple has a little bit of fun chemistry. It works as an early rom-com action thriller. The miniatures look like children's toys and the black-face is awkward for modern audiences. This may not be a classic but is a useful watch for Hitchcock fans. It is well-made for the most part with his brand of sly humor.

tieman64 Sandwiched between "The 39 Steps" and "The Lady Vanishes", "Young and Innocent" is an oft neglected thriller by Alfred Hitchcock. Released in 1937, the film stars Derrick De Marney as Robert Tisdall, a struggling screenwriter who is wrongly accused of a crime. On the run from the police, Tisdall sets off to both prove his innocence and locate the film's true culprit.It's a familiar Hitchcockian plot, but "Young and Innocent" nevertheless contains a number of excellent moments. These include an elaborate, now famous crane shot, and an audacious cutaway to a flock of birds, angrily screaming as a corpse tumbles into view.Bizarrely, Hitchcock paints Tisdall as a man who, though innocent of murder, nevertheless feigns innocence in order to win the heart of a naive teenager (directors Eric Rohmer and Claude Chabrol would flat-out label Tisdall a "weasel" and "male gigolo"!). In this way the film's title has a double meaning: Tisdall, innocent of crime, but unscrupulous enough to prey upon the genuinely young and innocent. 7.5/10 – Worth one viewing.

mark.waltz If you analyze the Hitchcock films of the pre-"Rebecca" days, you will notice more artistic qualities in them that not entirely disappeared as he became more commercialized in his Hollywood work. While "The Man Who Knew Too Much", "The 39 Steps" and "The Lady Vanishes" are all considered masterpieces, others, like "Sabatoge" and "Young and Innocent", have been neglected, but in further study, are quite influential in many of the technical aspects and different ways of moving the plot forward.For "Young and Innocent", Hitchcock uses a plot line he later altered for 1956's "The Wrong Man" in which a man (Derrick De Marney here) insists he is not guilty of the crime he is accused of, in this case murder. Nova Philbeam is the innocent young woman, the daughter of the local police chief, who reluctantly gets involved in aiding him, and eventually comes to believe in his innocence. There are so many great moments here, especially De Marney's clever escape from the courtroom, the scene in a mine where a car collapses into a sink hole, and the final scene with a big band involved in wrapping up the plot line. Then, there is the shot of Hitchcock, the ham silent actor here, outside the courtroom, that is quite amusing for fans always anxious to find him in his own movies, like an early "Where's Waldo?" puzzle.This is a film of particular interest, not only because of the breathtaking photography, but because of the sly writing which keeps you glued, and the fact that the two stars are not extremely well known actors. This makes their adventures and exploits all the more suspenseful. I've always thought that the British filmmakers had a headway on new methods of the technical art in films, and were sometimes more daring than the American major studios of the time. It is seeing films like this that continue to convince me that this is true, and you can see those influences in American films later on as a "new wave" style took over the screen.
