'Easy Virtue' is no high point in great master's career. To say it is the worst movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock would be too much, but it is definitely one of his lamest. It could have been great social criticism towards British high class snobbery (well, it is, sort off), but it all feels little bit stale. Somehow there are almost no energy and vitality in this film. Like the great director was forced to work on the picture by the studio. Perhaps it was the case, as there is nothing much wrong in technical sense (nothing inventive either), but it all feels uninspired. The story itself is quite interesting, although it covers rather melodramatic grounds. High point throughout the film was Isabel Jeans's portrayal of Larita Filton, a woman judged by her past.
How to rate this movie by numbers? 5 is too low, 6 on the other hands is too high. Well, it gets six from me on a discount.
