Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.One of the last films Hitchcock shot in England launches a season of Margaret Lockwood films at the NFT. She plays a fetching young miss on her way home via a trans-Europe express to be married in London. On board she is befriended by a genteel English governess, who then inexplicably disappears, and none of the other passengers will admit to having seen her – none but an eccentric musician (Michael Redgrave), who helps her unravel a dastardly conspiracy.
The last 20 minutes are derailed by a preposterous lurch into espionage drama; the real fun and games reside in the byplay of the two Pall Mall clubmen (played by Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne) who are far more exercised by the Test score than the possibility of a Foreign Intrigue. Their drollery is sometimes Wodehousian.
