Rich and Strange

“From Dale Collins’ romantic and exciting novel of the strange and lovely places of the world, unfolded before the wondering eyes of a simple London clerk and his wife — the magic of unexpected wealth.”

Fred Hill (Henry Kendall) is a London clerk who rides the same crowded train every day, and his wife Emily (Joan Barry) is as bored with their routine as he is. An advance on an inheritance lets them quit it all for a world cruise, which Alfred Hitchcock sets among the deck parties and foreign ports of 1931. Emily falls for Commander Gordon (Percy Marmont) and Fred for The Princess (Betty Amann), so the marriage they sailed to repair is now at risk.
