Rich and strange

DVD - 2022

Also known as East of Shanghai, is the splendid seafaring comedy from legendary director Alfred Hitchcock's early years in the British film industry. Fred Hill and his wife Emily lead a boring existence in the London suburbs. When the Hills come into an inheritance from a wealthy uncle, Fred quits his mundane job and they embark on a world cruise to get a taste of the high life. But all does not go as planned as the couple's voyage becomes fraught with treacherous romantic duplicities.
