yeah it fun and the best hitchcock i think . i hate that undertake be make it this be the one and only best no 1 i mean no one can change that good suspense and fun 1 for black and white while this wasn not hitchcock first feature film and he refer to it a the one that set the pace for his late film and the first to show his vision and style and and bravura . the most interesting thing about this film and other than it technical virtuosity and the horribly ineffective soundtrack and be the fact that it wasn not suppose to end the way it do . hitchcock want the lodger to be the killer and which would have make a more predictable film ( grant in 1926 audience weren not spoil by the great of the genre and everything could have be surprising if the right amount of suspense and tension be provide ) . instead and there be pressure to let matinée idol ivor novello out of the killer role and probably because people do not want to picture novello a a killer . ironically and the fact novello wouldn not end up a the killer make this film even well and a lot more interesting and compelling .
