As I understand it Hitch hated his early films(especialy the Mountain Eagle) so not much chance of his estate having any copies. He certainly didn't like that one, although he was clearly fond of some of the other silents, The Lodger and particularly The Ring. Interestingly the reviews of the Mountain Eagle that I've seen from the time compare it favourably with The Lodger but we'll probably never know! |

the Loger with Ivor Novello, thats a good one, but did he mean the that or his remake?

The remake (1932) wasn't one of his - although he talked about doing it again many times - it's directed by Maurice Elvey, admittedly Novello does reprise his role. Not sure what Hitch made of it or the 2 further versions that were made in 1942 and 1953 |
