The name Alfred Hitchcock is synonymous with mystery and suspense filmmaking, and even those not familiar with his work still know the name. The man is a legend, and will remain so for all eternity.

So you’ll understand the elation being felt at the discovery of Hitchcock’s earliest of works, a film titled The White Shadow.

Only three film reels of a total of six have been found so far, but the movie was first released back in 1924 when Hitchcock was only 24 years of age. He didn’t direct the movie as he would go on to do with so many classics such as North by Northwest, Pyscho, Rear Window, and Vertigo“”that credit went to Graham Cutts“”but he did act as writer, assistant director, editor, and art director on it.
