Gaumont is also considered a contender.[4]
The first American sound films had premiered in Europe, followed by Alfred Hitchcock's Blackmail in 1929. Producer Julius Hagen was quick in overhauling the studios at Twickenham for sound and providing sound stages for rent to both British and Continental producers. The film's sets were designed by the art director Christian-Jaque. The film is based on the 1908 play of the same title by Charles Méré, which had previously been made into a 1921 silent The Three Masks by Henry Krauss.
