Hitchcock's silent thriller brilliantly conjures up an atmosphere of threat and terror in the London fog. Influenced by German expressionism, Hitchcock foreshadows the Fritz Lang masterpiece M (1931) in the mob's hunt for Novello. One of Hitchcock's favourite themes - the man unjustly accused - is established here, as is his taste for making cameo appearances in his own films.
