An Elastic Affair

MOVIE #1,027 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

EVERY OTHER FRIDAY I’M REVIEWING THE COMPLETE WORKS OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER I love the bullshit, so must keep the bullshit going. I decided I would also “review” all of the Hitchcock lost films during my Alfred Hitchcock chronological filmography review. Per Wikipedia: An Elastic Affair (1930) is a 10-minute short comedy film directed by Alfred Hitchcock which features the two winners—Cyril Butcher (1909–1988) as “the Boy” and Aileen Despard (1908–1981) as “the Girl"—of a film acting scholarship sponsored by British film magazine Film Weekly. The film was shown on 19 January 1930 at a ceremony at the London Palladium at which the two winners were presented with their award, in the form of movie contracts with the film producer John Maxwell of British International Pictures. The film is now considered a lost film. So there you have it! I have nothing more to say about this! (As per my custom, every "lost film” immediately gets a perfect 10/10!)
