Note that this was Alfred Hitchcock's final silent movie. There are not many intertitles, as Hitchcock preferred to let the viewer see what was happening rather than being told. There is a key moment in the film when the girl separately tells each of the two men that she is going to have a baby, and in both cases there is no intertitle (the viewer has to either read her lips, or deduce what was said by the man's reaction!).
