Champagne & The Manxman

HITCHCOCK THE BEGINNING RETROSPECTIVE CHAMPAGNE Betty, the daughter of a millionaire, disagrees with him over a love affair, whereupon he pretends to have lost all his money, making it necessary for her to earn a living. She gets work in a cabaret, where she sells the champagne which her father made his fortune in. Realising he has gone too far, her father tries to extricate Betty from her cabaret entanglements. THE MANXMAN Pete and Phillip have been friends since boyhood in their small island village. Both men admire Kate, daughter of the village innkeeper. Pete goes abroad and is reported drowned. Kate had promised to wait for him, but thinking he is dead she falls in love with Phillip and has an affair with him. Pete returns suspecting nothing and he and Kate are married. But the child she shortly bears afterwards is Phillip’s.
