EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from a pivotal scene in Alfred Hitchcock's groundbreaking 1926 silent film, "The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog." In this chilling thriller, Ivor Novello stars as the enigmatic lodger, a suspected serial killer who rents a room from the Baxter family in their London home. The family's eldest daughter, Daisy (June), played by the luminous June Tripp, is smitten with the mysterious lodger, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath his charming exterior. In this scene, Daisy, dressed in the height of 1920s fashion, attends a jazz club with her girlfriends. The age of jazz and the Roaring Twenties are palpable in the image, with the women clad in flapper dresses, bobbed hair, and bejeweled headbands. The atmosphere is one of carefree excitement, a stark contrast to the ominous events unfolding in the Baxter household. The photograph, taken from a movie still, is a testament to the rich history of British silent film and the innovative storytelling of its visionary director, Alfred Hitchcock. This iconic moment in "The Lodger" continues to captivate audiences and remains a significant milestone in the annals of film history.
