Anny Ondra

Forced to kill in self-defence, Alice White becomes the victim of an unscrupulous blackmailer. Her troubles are compounded when the Scotland Yard detective assigned to the murder case, is Frank Webber , her fiance.
Begun as a silent, Blackmail ended up as Britain's first talkie with some striking experiments in sound, particularly in the famous knife sequence. Though Czechoslovakian Anny Ondra plays the lead, her lines were delivered, on set and out of camera range, by British actress Joan Barry.
