In this traditional auteurist examination of Hitchcock's early work, author Maurice Yacowar considers Hitchcock's British films in chronological order, reading the composition of individual shots and scenes in each, and paying special attention to the films' verbal effects. The films discussed begin with The pleasure garden (1925) and end with Jamaica Inn (1939).
