The comments pretty well demolish the idea that this is really a Hitch film, but to answer your question, no, I never have heard of it. There is, however, a REAL "lost" Hitch silent, the original silent version of Blackmail, which we're going to show either at next summer's Shasta Silent Film Festival or at a new festival we're trying to start in Chico next Spring.

The silent Blackmail was already finished when they started making the sound version, and I have a question: the silent version was made when silent movies were at their peak, and the sound version was made when nobody knew how to make a sound picture. Which one do you think is better? Yes! The kewpie doll goes to that geezer over there!

This shot has a Hitchcock look, don't you think?
