Murder!

Murder! (1930) is Alfred Hitchcock's early sound-era crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Actress Diana Baring is found in a daze next to her murdered colleague. Every clue points to her. The jury convicts.

Every juror but one. Sir John Menier — played by Herbert Marshall — voted guilty under pressure and has regretted it ever since. He sets out alone to prove the verdict wrong, without a badge or authority, just a nagging certainty that the truth is elsewhere. Hitchcock shot this in 1930, barely two years into the talkie age, and already the psychological cat-and-mouse between the amateur sleuth and his prime suspect feels like pure Hitchcock — unnerving dialogue, a stage-world of illusion and guilt. For anyone curious how the master's style crystallised before Psycho and Rear Window, this is the film that shows the blueprint forming. Watch Murder! online on iFILM.
