Defintley not one of Hitchcock's best, more like low-tier, but enjoyable with wonderful characters and humour from some like Old Will. I could rewatch this any day.

Quintessential innocent man on the run plus love interest from Hitchcock. Whilst he subverted this trope in Stage Fright, it has arguably been his safety blanket to fall back on. Whilst this isn't an outstanding example, it's a solid film nonetheless.

The best thing about this is most certainly the chemistry and charisma of the two stars. It almost lifts this to a more notable regard. Outside that though, the whole murder is a little poorly communicated. Once again, it has shaky beginnings (despite an eyecatching lighthouse scene). There are certainly pacing issues as well. The film works best when we forget the why and just leave our brain behind and get caught up in the emotions and suspense of the piece.

Slightly underappreciated in the annals of Hitchcock (you almost never hear about it), but there is little here to really sell this as a must see. An enjoyable deep cut for Hitch nuts.

As his trademark innocent guy on the run goes it has some interesting moments. Some genuine chemistry amongst the leads, even if they come up short in the charisma department. Notable camera work in the lovely ballroom shot. Panning across the room and pushing in on our killer at the end was impressive. Knowing the tools available at the time. But our accused is quite the happy little lam on the run for someone accused of murder. And Old Will's motive to help our starstruck lovebirds is highly suspect. And I don't mean he could be the murderer

predictable, amusing and packed with police chases, Young and Innocent is not one of Hitchcock's worst films and is entertaining enough to make you stay for the dog, the woman and it's light portrayal of a man wrongly-accused of murder. it's quite similar with The 39 Steps character-wise but has a funny and distinctive take on tension. it's not too serious to spoil itself but also not too jesting to establish itself well. 

remember to keep your raincoats in check.

The more-average, lower-stakes version of The 39 Steps. There are a few soild jokes and the leads are likeable, if bland. The murder discovery scene is reminicent of the first one in Frenzy. Worth watching to see Hitchcock's evolving style, but not for much else.

Very good suspense buildup.

Took Hitch a few films to ramp up the suspense in his Wrong Men films. Not to say the 60 minute search for a lost raincoat wasn't captivating...

Young and Innocent is a man wrongly accused Hitchcock film that works on several levels as a comedy of errors. The highlight, though problematic, is the finale when our killer is discovered through elaborate zoom in, a la Notorious later from Hitch's oeuvre. It has blackface, which makes me cringe, but "product of it's times" etc. 

There is also a sweet cave in in a mine shaft after a chase scene that came out of nowhere, but was fun.

This film entertains, and I suggest it. 

Almost done with Hitchcock's British Studio early period.

Schöner stimmiger Hitchcock.
