Neame discussing his belief that Hitchcock wouldn't have cast Anny Ondra in the role lead role if he'd known that "Blackmail" would eventually become a sound film...
He wouldn't have cast Anny Ondra, because Anny was Czechoslovakian, and she was playing the part of a London girl. She had a strong accent, and there was no such thing as dubbing. I don't think he would have landed himself in that problem had he known he was going to do sound.
