help Easy Virtue FAQ
Is Hitchcock's Easy Virtue (1928) based on a play?
Yes, it adapts Noël Coward's stage play of the same name from the mid-1920s. Hitchcock directed it during his late silent period, with Isabel Jeans, Franklin Dyall, and Ian Hunter leading the cast.
Is Easy Virtue (1928) a lost film?
No — unlike some silent-era titles, Easy Virtue survives and has been shown in retrospectives and home-media releases. It is one of the accessible examples of Hitchcock's silent output.
How is the 1928 Easy Virtue connected to the 2008 Jessica Biel movie?
Both films adapt the same Noël Coward play — the 2008 version, starring Jessica Biel and Colin Firth, is not a remake of Hitchcock. Coward's story about a glamorous divorcée clashing with her new in-laws is common to both.
Where does Easy Virtue fall in Hitchcock's career?
It dates from 1928, near the end of his silent period and just before Blackmail (1929), his first sound film. Viewers can see him experimenting with point-of-view storytelling that would mature in his later British thrillers.
