3.8/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"
Murder! (1930)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
3.8/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"Quick Hit
Backstage murder and procedural gamesmanship with a showman's wink.
Full Take
Murder! is a transitional Hitchcock, still figuring out how to move through sound without losing visual snap. The mystery mechanics are sturdy, the theatrical setting is catnip for him, and there is a sly amusement in the way authority performs certainty. Messy, interesting, alive.
