It's no masterpiece, but it's certainly something to see: Hitchcock's early work is full of surprises, dramatic and stylistic.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The Hall Caine novel from which this film was adapted is a weak one, but the director has done his best with it.
Filled with enchanting scenes and the story itself is quite well told.
A distinctly un-Hitchcockian melodrama.
