The landlord of a small London guest house becomes suspicious of his new lodger. Could he be the serial killer of young blonde women who has been terrifying the city for weeks? In his “first true Hitchcock movie” – in the director’s own words – the future master of suspense explores the deep relationship between violence and the dynamics of desire for the first time.
