	The Lodger
		The lodger tries to elevate Daisy from her social and economic position to his own, to transform her from the daughter of a backstreet lodging house owner, to a woman of sophistication and elegance, one who will be worthy of the comforts he enjoys in his world.
		Daisy and the lodger sit beneath a street lamp which looks ominously like the lamp under which the second murder in the film occurred, but their behavior is far from sinister as the lodger attempts to make plain his passion.
		He weighs carefully the lodger’s explanation as to the identity of the woman in the picture, but is forced to consider this explanation in relation to the gun, the map, the press clippings, and his own alienation from Daisy.

		The Lodger was Hitchcock's third feature film but it was the one that established his reputation as a director of taut and suspenseful thrillers.
		A mysterious new lodger arrives at the home of Mr and Mrs Bunting, whose daughter Daisy is courted by a policeman on the case.
		The Lodger was written by Eliot Stannard from a popular novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes (sister of the poet Hilaire Belloc), and starred matinee idol Ivor Novello - who starred in Hitchcock's next film, Downhill (1927) - as the mysterious lodger who falls under suspicion.

		The stylistic introduction of the Lodger into this safe space signals an intermingling of an expressionistic style with what was indicated through mise-en-scene to be a traditional, sacred world.
		The Lodger is set up throughout as the prime suspect, and his introduction here is consistent with the film's portrayal of him as a shadowy, spooky, diaphonous figure.
		Generally, the expressionistic style is associated with the Lodger and the Avenger, contrasting with the normally presented world of the family.

		It is the Lodger, played by Ivor Novello, arriving with the lower half of his face covered, and carrying a bag, both said to be trademarks of the Avenger.
		The Lodger and Daisy have gone out together, much to the regret of her mother, who wails “I let her go out with him—and it’s a Tuesday!” The couple sit under the lamp post that the most recent victim was found under.
		We see an image of the Lodger and who we are told is his sister dancing at a ball, then pull back until they are framed by a door and an iron grate, implying that the scene is being watched by another person.

	Amazon.ca: The Lodger: Video: Alfred Hitchcock,Marie Ault,Arthur Chesney,June,Malcolm Keen,Ivor Novello,Helena Pick
		He's a little strange, taking down all the pictures of fair-haired girls in his room, but the kindly old woman's suspicions are raised significantly when she witnesses her strange boarder sneaking out for a half hour on the next Tuesday night, returning just after a fresh murder had been committed down the street.
		Hitchcock's ``The Lodger'' is a marvelous study in the obsessive behavior that lies latent in all of us, and sometimes boils up to the surface with disastrous results.
		The lodger himself, the first victim's brother, is so dead-set on ``avenging'' his sister that he becomes a parody of the killer.

		THE LODGER was made in 1944 on the backlot of 20th Century Fox in Hollywood, but it looks very English, almost self-consciously so.
		THE LODGER is a study in psychological terror comparable to G.W. Pabst's PANDORA'S BOX and Fritz Lang's M. There are some stunning images, reminiscent of the best of German Expressionism.
		THE LODGER is the best of several adaptations of the 1913 novel by Marie Belloc-Lowndes.

		A potter's assistant by day and dress lodger by night, Gustine sells herself for necessity in a rented gown, scrimping to feed and protect her only love: her fragile baby boy.
		Among the myriad varieties of prostitutes he mentions, there is a short paragraph about a dress lodger, described very much in the terms I used in the book, as a young girl in an expensive dress, followed by an old woman.
		SH: The historical characters in Dress Lodger are: Dr. Clanny, Burke and Hare, Dr. Knox (in absentia), all the local politicians at the Board of Health meeting, and Jack Crawford.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: The Lodger (1944)
		His motives are kept in the dark for much of the film, which creates some uneasy tension in his scenes with the family he shares a roof with.
		Among the family members is a young actress, whom the lodger seems to have taken an unhealthy interest in.
		The Lodger, on the other hand, is well aware that the murders are only important insofar as what they mean to the killer.

	The Lodger (1927)
		However, looking at the layout of the house, the room the family is in is NOT beneath the room in which the Lodger is pacing.
		Daisy's boyfriend, a detective, is assigned to The Avenger's case, and (almost immediately) becomes suspicious of the lodger as well.
		Although The Lodger isn't Hitchcock's first feature, it most certainly is the film that launched his career as the "Master of Suspense." Noticeable Hitchcock trademarks are apparent here-namely the lodger's arrival and the ceiling/mirror scene.

		The more so that the lodger was not one of those crazy vegetarians who won't eat eggs and cheese.
		Sleuth, the back of Bunting's bare left hand brushed lightly against the long Inverness cape the lodger was wearing, and, to Bunting's surprise, the stretch of cloth against which his hand lay for a moment was not only damp, damp maybe from stray flakes of snow which had settled upon it, but wet--wet and gluey.
		Since he had come to be their lodger they had not had to touch their rent money.

		A mysterious new lodger arrives at the home of Mr and Mrs Bunting, whose daughter Daisy is courted by a policeman on the case.
		When the lodger begins behaving strangely, he attracts suspicion, particularly when he shows an interest in Daisy.
		These films, which used stylised, angular sets, high contrast light and shadow to convey disturbed psychological states, were to be a major influence on the developing director.

	The Lodger (1926)
		She is past thinking of the lodger as merely eccentric, and conveys her suspicions to her husband, who isn't convinced.
		It is clear that Daisy is drawn to that element of the "unknown" about the lodger, as opposed to the safety and familiarity of her relationship with Betts.
		For example, when the lodger first sees Daisy (she has come to his flat to remove the offending portraits), he is immediately interested in her, and his eyes follow her continuously about the room.

	And You Call Yourself a Scientist! - The Lodger (1926)
		The Lodger was only Hitchcock’s third film, and the first to actually be released, and it is astonishing both for its technical virtuosity and for the explicit depiction of themes that in various forms would underly the director’s work for the rest of his career.
		When he obtains a warrant for the lodger’s arrest, it is jealousy, not evidence, that motivates him, and it is only good luck that an innocent man does not lose his life as a consequence.
		Actually, the lodger isn’t entirely innocent - he is there to commit a murder himself, that of the man who killed his sister - and typically of the Hitchcock world, it is for this intent that he is punished.

	Casebook: Jack the Ripper - The Lodger
		But there is another lodger story which is contemporary with the murders, was reported in the newspapers of the day and, with the research done by Stewart Evans and Paul Gainey in their pursuit of the Littlechild Suspect, takes a much more important place in the story.
		The statement has been made that the landlady of the house was, at an early hour, disturbed by movements of her lodger, who changed some of his apparel, and went away after instructing her to wash the cast-off shirt.
		The German lodging-house keeper could clear up the point as to the existence of any lodger absent from her house under the suspicious circumstances referred to, but she is not accessible and it is easy to understand that the police should endeavour to prevent her making any statement.

	The Lodger - Alfred Hitchcock Film Movie Review
		Hitchcock wanted The Lodger to be the killer, which would have made a more predictable film (granted in 1926 audiences weren't spoiled by the bastardization of the genre and everything could have been "surprising" if the right amount of suspense and tension were provided).
		The instant realization most of the audience has is the Lodger is the Avenger because of the way the camera smartly works to create an aura around him, to show him in a mysterious, dark, and menacing fashion.
		Bunting sees The Lodger mysteriously leaving on a Tuesday night, her suspicions that The Lodger is The Avenger are confirmed, at least in her mind.

	Treble : Album Review : The Lodger - Grown-Ups
		Generally, these bands are hit or miss, and most of the time, even when they do well the first time out, their second effort (you know, that sophomore album that finds the band wanting to `broaden their palate') sinks like a pewter submarine in the bathtub.
		When that turned out not to be so, I surmised that maybe it was a sly reference to the lead singer of the band with which they are so often mentioned in the same breath.
		In fact, B&S is another good reference point to use when discussing the Lodger, considering that Siddall's voice lacks the throaty strength of Morrissey's and is probably closer to that of Stuart Murdoch, or perhaps Francis Reader of the Trashcan Sinatras.

	The Lodger (1926)
		This is the first appearance of the theme of many later Hitchcock films: that of the wrong man accused of a crime and his escape from the people in pursuit.
		For example, when the landlady hears the lodger's footsteps above, she "sees" them in what looks like a double-exposure but is actually a plate glass floor.
		The use of lighting to create the suggest shadows which haunt the film, and the gripping mob scene at the end of the film-with the lodger in handcuffs hanging on an iron fence, alluding to the crucifixion are also significant.

	The Lodger, Grown Ups Album Review
		There can't be many more phrases to immediately divide opinion between fans of alternative music; for each sensitive soul more than happy to wallow in a fey mire of 80's floppy-wristed girlfriendlessness there exists an equal and opposite individual who can think of nothing better than beating Morrissey to death with his own gladioli.
		Songwriter Ben Siddall has patiently crafted a set of tunes harking back to the days when a chiming guitar and wry lyric bemoaning one's status as an outsider would draw the crowds to the indie-discos and anorak cities.
		That's a minor quibble though, as 'Grown-Ups' is undoubtedly one of the strongest sets of pop songs you're likely to hear on one record for many a year.

		As was mentioned in the first part of this series, under the government’s rent-a-room scheme, rental income from a lodger is tax-free up to £4,250 each year – equivalent to £81 each week.
		The lodger must not have exclusive possession of a self-contained part of your property - cooking facilities and bathroom etc., are usually shared with you!
		The room you let must be for the lodger to live in, not to run a business from.

		Jealousy combines with suspicion and Joe obtains a warrant for the lodger's arrest.
		He and Daisy live happily-ever-after, as producer Michael Balcon demanded of a reluctant Hitchcock, who wanted the lodger to indeed be the Avenger.
		Witty, visually inventive, genuinely disturbing despite its conventions, understated and economical (especially in its use of dialogue intertitles), it withstands multiple viewings and is virtually a textbook for Hitchcock's later work.

		While she had been upstairs, talking to the lodger, Bunting's young friend, Joe Chandler, the detective, had come in, and as she walked into the sitting-room she saw that her husband was pushing half a sovereign across the table towards Joe.
