the pleasure garden

        The film takes a look at the world of showgirls in the "wild" 20's... "The Pleasure Garden" was actually Hitchcock's second film, but the first to be completed. Hitchcock's first film, "Number 13 ", could not be completed because the production company went bankrupt. "The Pleasure Garden" became a later highly regarded and critically acclaimed film. Nobody in Britain had agreed to provide money for a film of a novice director. The film was made as german production at Munich-Geiselgasteig. The outdoor shots were later taken in Italy. Movie premiere, and with it the first performance of a Hitchcock film ever, was on the 3rd of November 1925 in Munich.
