While I liked the acknowledgement of the way that Alice is pushed aside, the other side of that coin is that the film would have been a lot more interesting if Alice was more of an active participant in the dealings with the blackmailer.

The film started with an artistic sequence that lasted a few minutes and didn't really add anything to the story.

Blackmail started as a silent film but British International Pictures decided to adapt it into a separate sound version.

Hitchcock filmed more than just the ending with sound, which means that this film is generally received as the first British talkie.
