Rich and Strange (4 Stars)

This 1931 film, also known as "East of Shanghai", is a forgotten gem from director Alfred Hitchcock. While it appears to be a comedy on the surface it's actually a serious, deeply philosophical film.

A married couple in London complain about their lack of money. After receiving a surprise gift the man quits his job and they go on a world cruise. While away they both find new lovers and split up. If the film has a message it's that money destroys happiness.
