An Elastic Affair


An Elastic Affair is a 10-minute short comedy film directed by Alfred Hitchcock which features the two winners—Cyril Butcher as "the Boy" and Aileen Despard as "the Girl"—of a film acting scholarship sponsored by British film magazine Film Weekly.
The film was shown on 19 January 1930 at a ceremony at the London Palladium at which the two winners were presented with their award, in the form of movie contracts with the film producer John Maxwell of British [International Pictures]. It is now considered a lost film.
