Number Seventeen (1932)


Wardour Films
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Mill Creek)

A man claiming to be a detective walks into an empty mansion and finds a dead body on the stairs and another man wandering the halls. A woman falls through the roof and claims the dead man is her father. The dead body disappears. More people show up at the house. It turns out to be the meeting place of a gang of thieves who are looking for a stolen necklace. When they find out the man is a detective, the flee to a nearby train yard, hop on a train and knock out the conductor. Unfortunately, they don't know how to stop it and it crashes into a ferry. Crazy, fast paced film where nobody who is who they seem, and nothing makes very much sense.
