Young and Innocent (U.S. title: The Girl Was Young) is a British film (1937) directed by Alfred Hitchcock starring Nova Pilbeam, Derrick De Marney and John Longden.
In other words, in the process of adaptation for the big screen, the episode revolving around Tisdall as a fugitive from justice was elaborated and blown up into a full-length film whereas the subplots and distractors of Tey's novel -- which make it a whodunnit -- were omitted.
He is in particular referring to young Robert Tisdall, who is staying with (or at least near) them at their country retreat somewhere on the English coast.

 DVD Times - Young Thugs: Innocent Blood
Young Thugs: Innocent Blood is in fact the second entry in a series of films that started in 1996 with the release of Kazuyuki Izutsu’s Kishiwada Shonen Gurentai (Boy Hooligans of Kishiwada).
This doesn’t mean that Innocent Blood is a direct sequel though, because each film in the series play as stand-alone comedy dramas in their own right, painting an outlandishly nostalgic portrait of life during the 60’s and 70’s in Kishiwada, a fishing district off the coast of Osaka.
Innocent Blood is a film overflowing with sentiment, the director Takashi Miike is an Osaka man born and bred himself and you can clearly see the affinity he has with Riichi Nakaba’s novels.

 Takashi Miike's Young Thugs: Nostalgia and Young Thugs: Innocent Blood
With the Young Thugs films he takes us on a astonishing journey into the commonplace lives of several lower class school boys, their parents, teachers and everyone they come into contact with.
Unlike most young men in Japanese society, these three are definitely not on their way to becoming responsible members of society.
In Innocent Blood, he allows the story to continue its trend towards the realism of the first, only now that the boys are starting to mature, the stakes are higher and the repercussions much more intense.

 Britmovie - Young and Innocent 1937
But then, Young and Innocent was an especially smooth thriller for Hitchcock.
In a very real sense, the title describes the kind of film Young and Innocent is. Alma Reville and Charles Bennett created a screenplay based on Josephine Tey's novel A Shilling for Candles, and the result was a breathlessly paced movie which offers gripping suspense and melodrama.
In the course of their chase the young fugitives call on the girl's aunt (Mary Clare) and uncle (Basil Radford), ostensibly to establish some sort of alibi.

 Young and Innocent: Intro   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Young and Innocent starts even faster, as Hitchcock employs a well used device by showing his audience the murder, then leaving the rest of the picture to allow his characters to discover what the audience already has learnt.
In Young and Innocent, the long shot starts out surveying a hotel lobby, and slides us into a large ballroom, with a band playing at the opposite end.
Young and Innocent, at the end of the day, is one of Hitchcock's better films from his British period of the late 20's and 30's.

Made in 1937 by a relatively young and innocent Alfred Hitchcock, this British feature tends to be overshadowed by The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes, but actually it's only the uncharismatic casting that holds it back from being one of the most entertaining of Hitchcock's English films.
Derrick de Marney is the young man on the run, accused of a murder he didn't commit; Nova Pilbeam is the ingenue who believes his story and helps him look for the killer.
The film is as much romance as thriller, as Hitchcock develops the erotic frisson of the dangers the young couple faces (most memorably, a car drops suddenly into the earth, an early association of sex and vertigo).

 Young Thugs - Innocent Blood/Young Thugs - Nostalgia
Innocent Blood is an apt title for the film, as in amongst the tender moments of character development and relationship based melodrama are an ungodly amount of beatings, courtesy of the titular thugs and their penchant for taking down their foes with their baseball bats.
The primary theme of this film (the later of the two, though it serves as a prequel to its predecessor) is the loss of innocence that all children experience due to the actions of those around them and those in their direct environment.
Riichi has to deal with the growing pains that affect every young man in the years the character is set in here, as he tries his best to cope with his inner child that, in a sense, is seemingly revolting against his external growth.

Nova Pilbeam was a lovely young British actress who had worked for the director in a smaller role three years earlier, in his first version of "The Man Who Knew Too Much." She sparkles here as a strong and independent young heroine who comes to believe in someone and risks everything to aid him.
Alfred Hitchcock's 1937 "Young and Innocent" filmed in England with predominately unknown, to me, players is not what I would consider one of his better efforts.
YOUNG AND INNOCENT was an interesting movie where a writer is accused of murder and attempts sereral daring escapes to find the real murderer and prove his innocence.

 Young Thugs – Innocent Blood DVD Review - Terror Australis.net
Innocent Blood continues the themes of alienation and fragmented relationships that Miike tackles in his previous work, only this time around he makes it more personal, by setting the film in Osaka, a Japanese fishing village, where he grew up.
The film follows the fortunes of four young friends who have just left school and are finding their way in the world.
The film is basically a character study of the four young friends, but the story is often punctuated with astonishing scenes of brutal violence.

 [KFCC] Young Thugs: Innocent Blood Review
This is a predictable socio-drama about the troubles of growing up in Osaka, but its social aspect is diminished since the screenplay does not provide the characters' backgrounds or a clear idea about the city they live in, while the drama part is undermined in several ways.
When at the end of YOUNG THUGS a character shits his pants after a suspenseful car chase and is –out of nowhere- stricken by the lightning, it is so inconsistent with the rest of the movie that the little impact the film may have had by then simply goes down the drain.
By far the most interesting among the supplements, it reveals his fondness for this particular title, as well as the period in which it was made: Miike seems to long for the days when he was more spontaneous and not so tech-savvy as today.

Of course, this vague description could allude to many Hitch flicks, and certainly shouldn’t subvert the fact that this is an immensely entertaining movie, and in its own way, quite necessary for the director's evolution.
As in To Catch a Thief, we never feel all that much distress for Young and Innocent’s characters - though there are a few tense moments in a mine shaft — we just want to see them solve the little 80-minute puzzle with a few good jokes.
He was the Master of more than just suspense, and Young and Innocent proved that his knack for the economic, fast-paced comedy/thriller was unmatched.

What we witness is the progression of young punks who, to begin with want nothing more than a good punch up and a bit of fun with their girl friends, then use their street hood status to earn points and then jobs in the yakuza underworld.
At some point decisions are made and actions taken that transform their lives from innocent punks to fledgling adults whose must choose either maturity and a conformist life or the terminal infantilism of the gangster world.

Often grotesque and offensive, they paint a picture of a filmmaker who relishes in dragging his audience kicking and screaming through a visual nightmare of pain and suffering.
Through fl humor, drama, artful direction, and yes, some violence, the film tells of four unruly schoolmates who graduate to spend their first year on the streets of Osaka brawling as low-level thugs and breaking hearts.
Innocent Blood is one of several films in the Young Thugs series, all loosely based on the lives of fictional hoodlums in Osaka, and the first from Miike who followed this up with Young Thugs: Nostolgia (1998).

 DVD Times - Young and Innocent
Alfred Hitchcock's Young and Innocent (aka The Girl Was Young in the US) has tended to be somewhat underrated, largely because it was made in between the rather more substantial likes of The 39 Steps, Sabotage and The Lady Vanishes.
Presumably unable to track down an original trailer for Young and Innocent, they've thrown in one for Hitchcock's later masterpiece Strangers on a Train instead, and it's a more than adequate substitute, especially as the transfer is superb - if only Young and Innocent had had the same kind of treatment!
That said, it should be noted that the two best-known British features, The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes, are also available as Criterion discs, with all that that implies: you pay a lot more, but the quality of both presentation and extras is far superior.

 Hong Kong Digital #236a: Young Thugs: Innocent Blood and Young Thugs: Nostalgia
YOUNG THUGS: INNOCENT BLOOD concerns a tight-knit group of young delinquents in Osaka, led by big, violent, and not-so-bright Riichi (Koji Chihara).
Although he does not seem like much of a man to yearn for, Ryoko (Sarina Suzuki) is quite happy to be the lug’s girl, and the pair enjoy their time together and with friends Yuji (Yasushi Chihara, real-life brother of Koji Chihara) and Kotetsu (Kyosuke Yabe).
Nonetheless, YOUNG THUGS: INNOCENT BLOOD is rewarding on most levels and makes a few tiny points about parental irresponsibility (the only advice Riichi’s forlorn mother offers to her obviously adrift son is "If you must fight, make sure you win") without being preachy about it.

This quintessentially-English thriller set in Derbyshire, one of the 'Heart of England' shires is from Hitchcock's pre-Hollywood years.
