Item description

8x10 in. US single-weight glossy copy photograph (not a vintage original photo that was printed at the time it was taken) from the 1930's thriller comedy/romance, RICH AND STRANGE (AKA East of Shanghai), released in the UK in 1931 by Wardour Films and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Believing that an unexpected inheritance will bring them happiness, a married couple (Henry Kendall, Joan Barry) instead finds their relationship strained to the breaking point. The image features an interior long shot during a party scene and depicts Fred Hill (Henry Kendall) and his wife, Emily (Joan Barry), as they both watch The Princess (Betty Amann), who is seated at the table with them having a drink as well while Commander Gordon (Percy Marmont) stands behind them looking at something. Printed on single-weight stock with a glossy finish, this copy photograph is in very fine condition with two small unobtrusive creases in the upper right background area and light signs of wear on the bottom left corner. This photograph is accompanied by a paper snipe caption that was affixed to the verso but has subsequently come off. The film's title comes from Ariel's song in "The Tempest": "Full fathom five thy father lies, / Of his bones are coral made, / Those are pearls that were his eyes: / Nothing of him that doth fade, / But doth suffer a sea-change / Into something rich and strange." The film was adapted by Hitchcock, his wife Alma Reville, and Val Valentine from a novel by Dale Collins. While this was one of Hitchcock's first movies with sound and features dialogue for only about a quarter of the film, it has many silent film features, such as scene captions, exaggerated acting styles, and heavy makeup. The film is most notable for the techniques used by Hitchcock that reappeared in his later films. Most notable are the sets, including a recreation of a full-sized ship in a water tank, used in the final act of the film. The director also experimented with camera techniques and shot compositions. Hitchcock once stated that although the movie wasn't successful, it had one of the funniest scenes in which a Chinese sailor serves food to Fred and Emily, and they like it until they found out that the meat they were served was a cat. Henry Kendall's most notable role.
