this first screen adaptation of the novel(with the same title) by Marie Bellock Lowndes is Alfred Hitchcock's first thriller.it's a silent film,the only silent film adaptation of the novel.its biggest value to me is the curiosity and novelty factor.of the silent films i've seen so far,this is not one of the best ones.i found it much too slow,and the music accompaniment is is irrelevant to ht film.i think whoever produced this print just picked some public domain music and slapped it onto the film.i did get this film as part of a very cheap collection and so it my be this particular print that has that problem.for me,The Lodger is a 4/10
