My review of Hitchcock's next film, The Farmer's Wife, has taken longer than expected due to a series of family illnesses (everyone's fine!). Here's something to look at while we wait...
If you're read this far, you may remember me exclaiming over the artistic, animated intertitles of The Lodger, and then complaining about the boring, static intertitles of The Ring. A reader pointed out an interesting link to the Hitchcock Wiki showing how the original intertitles of The Pleasure Garden had been replaced for the Rohauer restoration (which is the version that I viewed). It's entirely possible that The Ring suffered a similar fate at some point in its long history.
