À quoi s’attendre
Hitchcock’s adaptation of O’Casey preserves long passages of performance and speech, capturing major stage actors in early sound. The apparent theatricality becomes a record of language colliding with economic and political reality.
Comment aborder le film
The accents and talk are central, so subtitles can help. Keep Juno’s practical labour separate from Captain Boyle’s fantasies; the promised inheritance reveals what each is willing to believe. The year shown here follows the BFI’s current catalogue record, which dates the film to 1930.
