I am very honored to have been asked by my good friend, TL Bugg, from The Lightning's Bug's Lair, to contribute to his excellent Hitch on the Hump series, where he [and guest bloggers] discuss an aspect of Alfred Hitchcock's life - whether it's his films or other stuff related to the Master of Suspense. I chose one of his earliest films from his British era, YOUNG AND INNOCENT [also known as THE GIRL WAS YOUNG] from 1938. So go over to The Lightning Bug's Lair and read my thoughts on the film. Also if you haven't yet, check out the rest of his site. It's a fantastic blog that deserves everyone's attention. Thanks, Bugg!
