Created in 1929 at a pivotal period in the history of cinema,
Blackmail exists in two versions; one with a partial soundtrack and the other a full silent version that is presented here. Alfred Hitchcock was extremely attentive to the on screen details of this breathless thriller and the Luxembourg Philharmonic will provide the musical details on this occasion.
