January 24, 1927 –
Alfred Hitchcock’s first film, The Pleasure Garden, went into general release on this date in England. The film is often overshadowed by Hitchcock’s later masterpieces, but it was definitely a significant milestone in his early career.
Although shot in 1925, and shown to the British press in March 1926, the film wasn’t actually released in the UK until after The Lodger, his third movie, which marked a real turning point for him. The Pleasure Garden was a massive hit in 1927.
