Trivia
A copy of the film is included as a bonus feature on the Kino Lorber Studio Classics DVD and German DVD releases of Meurtre (1930) and the French DVD release of La taverne de la Jamaïque (1939).

Goofs
As Sir John interviews Mary in jail, it is established in long-shot that both are sitting at opposite ends of a long table. During frontal closeups, the widths of the planks that make up the tabletop reveal that very randomly either the table is turning between shots or both persons repeatedly switch places.

The exact same continuity error also applies to the American version of the movie, Meurtre (1930).

Remake in German

For all practical purposes, a remake, in German, of "Murder!" It is stark and frantic, but the plot is the same. The editing is flawed and so things do not move fluidly. Also, the actors seem more stiff and less interesting. It's as if Hitchcock felt he could give the German people a gift, but move on quickly. I agree that the tension is much less. The final scene is one of the most dramatic of any the master produced, but here it doesn't have quite the same impact. See it only if you wish to have a full view of early Hitchcock films. That was my motivation.
