Bonus track from the 1991 reissue

original lobby cards for The Lodger (1927), Alfred Hitchcock's first commercial success.

June Tripp and Ivor Novello in a scene from The Lodger (1927). Kevin Mayer wrote in the UK Times " Yes, Hitchcock’s most underrated movie, his 1927 silent The Lodger: A Story of London Fog, has just become even more beautiful, more devious and more emotionally satisfying, courtesy of a lavish restoration and a soul-stirring soundtrack from Nitin Sawhney."

Wally Hammond wrote of The Lodger (1927) in Little White Lies "One for Hitch fans, one for thriller fans, one for cinema fans. Do not miss."

Ivor Novello as the nameless lodger in The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927). Ivor was born in Cardiff, Wales, and had 22 acting credits 1919-1934. None of his other acting credits are notable. He also had two producer credits, six composer credits, and 20 writing credits.

June Tripp as Daisy in The Lodger (1927). June was born in Blackpool, England, and had eight acting credits from 1920 to a 1952 American version of Les Miserables. After The Lodger, her next credit wasn't until 1943 in the US.

publicity still for The Lodger (1927) To show that every film has its haters, it was written in the New York Times "The picture has a very, very excellent begining, a mediocre middle and a most deplorable ending. A minor fault is that its running time is about fifteen minutes too long."
