"After all, Hitchcock had been an admirer of Cocteau's BLOOD OF A POET
(1930) and ingeniously echoed its opening and closing scenes the
following year in the opening and closing scenes of THE SKIN GAME." -

The closing sequence of 'Blood of a Poet' was shot in January 1931,
about the time 'The Skin Game' was completed (its trade show was in
February). Cocteau's film was not shown in public till January 1932,
after Hitchcock's film had been released. Had Hitchcock been admitted
to earlier, private screenings?
