Charles Bennett on Melodrama, Hitchcock |
 | | BLACKMAIL and THE LAST HOUR were written later in 1925 and 1926. |
| | When American impresario Al Woods arrived in London in 1927, he found himself in possession of a theater but in need of a play to replace Frederick Lonsdale’s FOREIGNERS which was abandoned. |
| | He advertised for authors to send their manuscripts for review, and to my satisfaction, he chose my play BLACKMAIL from among 300 submissions. |
