# The Mountain Eagle (1926)

1926 · 83 min · Drama, Thriller · Germany, United Kingdom


## Synopsis

The Mountain Eagle is a 1926 lost silent film directed by Alfred Hitchcock following his debut in The Pleasure Garden. The film, a romantic drama set in Kentucky, is about a widower who jealously competes with his crippled son and a man he loathes over the affections of a schoolteacher. The film was mostly produced at the Emelka Film studios in Munich, Germany in autumn of 1925, with exterior scenes shot in the village of Obergurgl in the State of Tyrol, Austria. Production was plagued with problems, including the destruction of a village roof and Hitchcock experiencing altitude sickness. Due to producing the film in Germany, Hitchcock had more directorial freedom than he would have had in England, and he was influenced by German cinematic style and technique.
