The Lodger
Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader

Alfred Hitchcock's most famous silent (1926). Not a great film, but a remarkable one, with Hitchcock at his most "innovative," shooting through plate-glass floors and generally one-upping the expressionist cliches of the period. The story bears a strong resemblance to Frenzy. 75 min.
