Double bill from master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock. In 'Rich and Strange', Fred (Henry Kendall) and Emily Hill (Joan Barry) are bored with their marital lifestyle in dreary London, and so jump at the chance of a cruise round the world when they receive an inheritance from a wealthy uncle. However, all does not go as planned; following a quarrel, the couple split and commence affairs, Fred with an attractive con artist, Emily with an older man. These pecadillos only serve to heighten tensions between the pair, but pale in comparison with the disaster that awaits the couple... Whilst in 'Young and Innocent',.when a young woman is found strangled on the seashore, Robert Tisdall (Derrick De Marney) is quickly identified as the chief suspect in the case. The young man protests his innocence, but it seems that only Erica Burgoyne (Nova Pilbeam), the eighteen-year-old daughter of the local police constable, is prepared to believe him. Together, the unlikely duo set out to find the real killer. An early blueprint for such Hitchcock classics as 'To Catch a Thief' and 'North by Northwest'.
