	The Ring (1927/I) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		This early film has its flaws-- a predictable plot and some overlong scenes of dubious relevance-- but it already clearly demonstrates Hitchcock's mastery of editing and the use of powerful images.
		It's also among the most expressionist of his films stylistically; note, for examples, the weird distortions he uses during the party sequence and the frequent echoes of both title and plot in the imagery.
		Even though you know that the hero has to win, it becomes quite believable that he will lose, and the movement of his wife from the champion's corner to his, motivating the final plot pay-off, is very well entwined with the progress of the match.

	Modernity: a film by Alfred Hitchcock
		Everything appears as it does because the films admit their audience: "admit" in the sense of acknowledging their presence and in the more crucial sense of letting them into the place where the film's meaning and effects are negotiated and produced.
		For all the 'realism' of Hitchcock's films, especially the early films, their admission of their audience marks them off as self-conscious works of art (and this is one of the great Hitchcockian tricks, and also accounts for his frequent disregard for realism in his films' obvious artificiality).
		Film might be said to mime this experience in that it too can provoke, quite commonly, a visceral sense of shock, a phenomenon which is intimately tied to its technological foundations.

	ring (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The title can be understood in several senses: 'the ring' is a bracelet that Bob Corby gives the young woman and which all during the film will symbolize adultery.
		But a 'ring' is also a wedding band, and at one point in the film Hitchcock, who never hesitates to follow through on his symbols, shows Sander taking the bracelet and slipping it onto Nelly's finger as a wedding ring.
		When the husband rips his wife's dress, she covers her breast with a photograph of her lover; when Sander comes home after a bout and organizes a party, champagne flows into glasses, Sander notices his wife's absence and understands that she is with her lover: a close-up of a glass of champagne gone flat.

	Amazon.com: Ring (1927) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Ring is very much a 1920s period-piece, but Hitchcock throws in occasional odd filming angles that seem ahead of their time.
		The second feature, "The Ring," is a lesser known and surprisingly entertaining Hitchcock silent drama about a circus ticket girl torn between two potential lovers: one a prize fighter, the other his sparring partner who happens to be the only man that can beat him.
		Of "The Ring," I understand that not everyone can handle the silent treatment, but the intelligently chosen mucial accompaniment by Laserlite makes the movie an easy one to get through, even though the film was transferred at a slow speed, making the movie about 15 miutes longer than it was intended to be.

		As the film progresses, however, we learn that the eerie fl-and-white vignettes are clues to who made the tape and why.
		The acting in THE RING is fabulous throughout, with the actors stretching well beyond the caricatures all-too-often found in horror films and creating realistic, intriguing people.
		I'm sure that some purists who've seen the original Japanese film (which spawned sequels and a TV series) will pick apart this version, but, for my money, this is one case where the remake of a foreign film can stand on its own merits.

	The Ring Film Review - Time Out Film
		Arguably the finest of Hitchcock's silent films, this tale of a fairground boxer (Brisson) whose wife takes a shine to the far more socially sophisticated new champion (Hunter), sees the young director completely confident in his control of the medium.
		The title is ambivalent, referring not only to the boxing-ring (scene of Brisson's first humiliation), to the wedding-ring and to the bracelet Hunter secretly gives to his rival's wife, but also to the circular shape of the story, which stresses the philanderer's apathy when his adulterous affair comes to nothing.
		Impressive, too, is Hitchcock's keen eye for social detail, and his command of expressionist visual devices to suggest his characters' states of mind, perhaps most memorably a shot which 'melts' off the screen to evoke the cuckold's drunken slide into oblivion.

	Alfred Hitchcock - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Hitchcock's films draw heavily on both fear and fantasy, and are known for their droll humour.
		Most of Hitchcock's films contain cameo appearances by Hitchcock himself: the director would be seen for a brief moment boarding a bus, crossing in front of a building, standing in an apartment across the courtyard, or appearing in a photograph.
		The film was actually shot in eight takes of approximately 10 minutes each, which was the amount of film that would fit in a single camera reel; the transitions between reels were hidden by having a dark object fill the entire screen for a moment.

	The Ring (1927)
		The Ring (1927), directed for British International Pictures by Alfred Hitchcock was about Jack Sander, a fighter called "One Round Jack" (Carl Brisson), and Bob Corby, the champion from Australia (Ian Hunter), both of whom are in love with Nelly (Lillian Hall-Davies).
		Included in the film were many original flourishes of detail and style that charmed the critics but went unnoticed by the regular audiences.
		The title refers to the arena in which the boxing matches took place, to the wedding ring, and also to a snake-like bracelet that Bob gives to Nelly.

		This silent Hitchcock film has been wonderfully restored by the BFI.
		Of course it all looks very old now and it is mainly for its' charm and curiosity values which makes it particularly appealing, but for anyone (like me) who has appreciated Hitchcock's art, I would wholeheartedly recommend this film to you.
		It's not a thriller, but a moral drama: as such it isn't as exciting as other movies of his, and it's quite preachy, but some visual symbolism isn't bad (and the usual sense of ambiguity of some of Hitch's work of the time is impossible to miss).
