Alfred Hitchcock's directorial debut is a melodrama about the love lives of two chorus girls, Patsy (Virginia Valli) and Jill (Carmelita Geraghty). With both girls working at the 'Pleasure Garden', Patsy soon meets and marries Levett (Miles Mander), who happens to be the best friend of Jill's fiance Fielding (John Stuart). When both men leave to do work in the colonies, Patsy soon finds Jill two-timing Fielding, something she would never consider, trusting her husband's fidelity completely.

| | The Man In The Iron Mask
Cat No. 7952654
The acclaimed film of Alexandre Dumas’ classic story, about good and evil twin brothers – one is the imprisoned man in the hideous iron mask, the other is his foppish, elegant twin, King Louis XIV of France. The man trapped by his brother, King Louis XIV of France, in a brutal iron mask is Philippe (Richard Chamberlain - The Count of Monte Cristo). He is the assumed dead twin to the King who, though the rightful heir to the throne, was spirited into obscurity from birth for political motives and is ignorant of his true identity. His destiny: to assume the throne in place of his brother, Louis, who is manipulated by Fouquet (Patrick McGoohan - The Prisoner). Both the captain of the Musketeers, D’Artagnan (Louis Jourdan - Dracula), and Colbert (Sir Ralph Richardson - The Four Feathers), the King’s Minister for Home Affairs, are determined that France has her real King, and plan to restore the wilting fortunes of the throne by substituting Philippe for the King...
