The Ring
UK / 1927

No, the other Ring. A brilliantly realized boxing film, exploiting nearly every geometrical configuration of rings and circles that one can imagine — with squares (frames) and (love) triangles thrown in for good measure. After all, Hitchcock designed titles before he directed anything, and here his sense of visual design charges every frame. Interestingly, this is also the only film that identifies Hitchcock as the sole screenwriter.

By the way, the restored print on this DVD is extraordinary.
