- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Blackmail' still plays well, and is a suitable precursor to the master director's later work."
-
"Blackmail marked Hitchcock's first use of sound, and it remains famous for its innovations in that area. But it's now more stimulating for its experiment with narrative structure"
