Hitchcock's official debut film. No blondes here--that fascination came later. Hitchcock's interest in animal behavior is highlighted. (In a short sequence, a man is enamored by a blonde wig.) The story is based on a novel written by Oliver Sandys (real name and sex, Marguerite Jarvis, actress). Yes, the writer of the realistic love story (dealing with the behavior of British men working in their colonies without their wives), was actually an actress as much as a novelist. There is a killing in the film but law and justice relating to the event are never discussed.
