Review
Schematic silent film charts a man's slide downhill, beginning when,
as a schoolboy, he is disowned by his family after an indiscretion with
a girl, and later as an adult when his wife fritters away his unexpected
inheritance. Major debit: the contrived happy ending. Lesser Hitchcock
boasts the master's visual flair. Cowritten by Novello.
