Young and Innocent (1937 Alfred Hitchcock)

Superb early Hitch, one of his funniest (particularly in treatment of police, who are virtually Keystone Cops in this). But also supremely well put together, extremely cinematic. The virtuoso track across the ballroom into a close-up of the guilty man's eyes is perfectly focused (Bernard Knowles on camera, apparently operated by Stephen Dade (also Secret Agent and Sabotage, grew up to shoot Zulu - source: BFI).

But what happened to the dog in the mine?
