1934 British spy thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock, featuring Leslie Banks, Edna Best, Peter Lorre, Nova Pilbean and Frank Vosper. It was one of the most successful and critically acclaimed films of Hitchcock's British period.

The film is Hitchcock's first film using this title and was followed later with his own 1956 film using the same name featuring a different plot and starring Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day.

A British couple on a trip to Switzerland with their daughter befriend a Frenchman named Louis who is staying at their hotel. That evening, Louis is shot as Jill dances with him. Before he dies, he tells Jill where to find a note intended for the British consul; she in turn tells her hubby. Hubby reads the note, which warns of a planned, international crime. Now the fun begins.
