“Young and Innocent,” 1937. Based on the Josephine Tey novel “A Shilling for Candles,” this oddly titled drama stars Nova Pilbeam as a young woman trying to clear the name of her wrongly accused boyfriend, very much like “Stage Fright.” It’s episodic in the style of “The 39 Steps” or “Saboteur,” and features a couple of memorable set pieces: The car sinking into a cavern while its occupants barely escape, and the incredible crane shot from the hotel lobby to the drummer in the band. Not the best of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1930s British films, but very memorable nonetheless.
