A man on the run from a murder charge enlists a beautiful stranger who must put herself at risk for his cause.
After a violent argument with her husband, a famous actress is discovered by her ex-lover, Robert Tisdall, drowned on a beach. Police arrive and arrest Tisdall on the testimony of witnesses who saw him with the body. He is accused of the murder. As he is about to go on trial, he escapes from the courthouse with the help of Erica Burgoyne, the resourceful daughter of a Police Constable. At first, Erica doesn’t really believe Tisdall is innocent, but she’s so attracted to the young man, she continues to help him elude capture while searching for the real killer, risking her life and her father’s reputation. Their only lead is provided by Old Will, a china mender, who can identify the murderer, a man with noticeably twitching eyes.
“There are at least two splendid sequences, with menace and suspense hovering, in typical Hitchcock fashion, over innocent amusements.” – Time Out
“Alfred Hitchcock, England’s jovial and rotund master of melodrama, has turned out another crisply paced, excellently performed film.” – The New York Times
“Of course, it’s not that customary to come to a Hitchcock picture for true romance. Still, ‘Young and Innocent’ is indubitably worthwhile for aficionados of ‘The Master of Suspense’”. – 4 Star Films
