rich and safe (1931)

Aka East of Shanghai
"No sense in being suburban"
A young couple (Henry Kendall and Joan Barry) have hit an inpass in their relationship, but finding out they have an unexpected inheritance, decide to revitalise their marriage by heading abroad for adventure, but find it tests their partnership.
Unusual early Hitchcock, with him experimenting with his editing whilst creating some disturbing humor that plays on the 'there's no place like home' theme.
