Peter W @RT12077588 Oct 23, 2026 Number Seventeen is unmistakably one of Alfred Hitchcock’s earlier works, and you can already see him experimenting with ideas and techniques that would later become trademarks of his filmmaking, particularly his use of lighting and visual composition. The story itself is relatively simple, yet the way it’s presented on screen feels more complicated than it needs to be. With its short runtime, the film doesn’t quite have enough time to fully develop its narrative, leaving certain plot points feeling vague. That said, the majority of the performances are enjoyable, and Hitchcock’s flair for mystery, suspense and unexpected twists is already evident. While Number Seventeen isn’t among his strongest films, it offers an interesting glimpse into a legendary director refining the style that would later define his career.

Now this film had a fairly easy to follow plot a gang of thieves stole necklace and the detector is on the hunt to find that necklace and return it to where it's proper owner is. That is the essence of the movie I would consider this a thriller crime mystery and give it a PG rating all things considered. If you’re Alfred Hitchcock buff like myself this is 1 you definitely wanna watch it's one of the early talkies and the quality of the black and white picture is really good. Considering the year I think it was very well done. See more Minnie C. @belledujour Nov 29, 2025 I enjoyed this one. Yeah it’s not Hitchcock best but it’s charming. The beginning drags on but the ending conclusion kept my interest. Lots of twists and turns even if it is sort of predictable See more Steve D @RT35616104 Dec 30, 2023 One of Hitch's worst.
