Hitchcock’s third feature, made for Michael Balcon’s new Gainsborough studios, The Lodger established Hitchcock as a name director. But the film was almost not released at all. After a private industry screening, distributor C.M. Woolf told the director: “Your picture is so dreadful, that we're just going to put it on the shelf and forget about it”. The film was saved by Balcon and a young film enthusiast (later director, theorist and friend of Eisenstein), Ivor Montagu: Hitchcock re-shot a few rough sequences, while Montagu reduced the number of title cards by three-quarters (!), and added designs by artist E. McKnight Kauffer. When this second version which was shown to the press in September 1926, the trade journal Bioscope pronounced: “It is possible that this film is the finest British production ever made”.
