Mary (1931)
Movie #1,095 • TGI-HITCHCOCK!
EVERY OTHER FRIDAY I’M REVIEWING THE COMPLETE WORKS OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER
Well this is an interesting one:
Mary (1931) is a British-German thriller film, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and is the German-language version of Hitchcock's Murder! (1930), shot simultaneously on the same sets with German-speaking actors.
Seeing as how I already watched Murder! I opted out of this one less than five minutes in. I'm. Just being honest. What a weird thing to do, though: shooting a movie simultaneously on the same sets for a different country. I wonder if there are other examples of this? (I don't feel like searching. HMU if you know.)
SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½
