Easy Virtue 1927
The wife of a drunk can hardly cope with life as her young artist lover commits suicide. Soon after this dramatic event she divorces her husband. In france she meets with a nice rich man and marries him without revealing her past. The mother of the man becomes suspicious and starts unraveling her past. Easy virtue is a nowadays somewhat laughable drama. The story is an adaptation of the play written by Noel Coward. In those days a major success in the London theatres. Hitchcock appears in one of his cameo's strolling past a tennis court carrying a walking stick. He was not the intended director of the play but for some reason, Graham Cutts who was appointed director, refused the movie. Easy Virtue is Hitchcock's last picture for Gainsborough Studios before he started working at the British International Pictures Studios. In his directing he used mirrors and doubles to shoot some scenes, a never before used technique. The film was theatrically released in august 1927.
