In 1922 Alfred Hitchcock obtained his first shot at directing for Gainsborough Pictures with the film Number 13 (or Mrs. Peabody).
The film was to star Clare Greet and Ernest Thesiger as husband and wife, but was pulled from production after only a handful of scenes were shot.

After the film was pulled from production, the script was lost, the scenes forgotten and the film probably melted down by Gainsborough to obtain the small quantity of silver nitrate they contained.
- Hitchcock rarely or never spoke about his first directing project, until his biographer, Donald Spoto asked him about life in the early twenties, and his first films.
- Film historians and collectors have been looking for this film for decades and still have no clue as to where the shot footage may have been stored or kept.
