Plot Synopsis

The Ring (1927), directed for British International Pictures by Alfred Hitchcock was about Jack Sander, a fighter called "One Round Jack" (Carl Brisson), and Bob Corby, the champion from Australia (Ian Hunter), both of whom are in love with Nelly (Lillian Hall-Davies). Included in the film were many original flourishes of detail and style that charmed the critics but went unnoticed by the regular audiences. The title refers to the arena in which the boxing matches took place, to the wedding ring, and also to a snake-like bracelet that Bob gives to Nelly.
