Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Ring is a 1927 silent film written and directed by Alfred Hitchcock that does not, repeat not, feature a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl.No, this isn't The Ring; the ring is a boxing ring. "One Round" Jack Sander is a boxer working at a carnival, taking on all comers. His girlfriend Mabel sells tickets to his fights. One day a tall man accepts the challenge, hops into the boxing ring, and shocks both Jack and Mabel by defeating Jack in four rounds. It turns out that the nattily dressed tall gentleman is Bob Corby (Ian Hunter) the heavyweight boxing champion of the world. Bob and his manager, spotting Jack as a real talent, give him a job as Bob's sparring partner.However, at least part of the reason that Bob hired Jack was Bob's attraction to Mabel, which Mabel returns, even after she gets married to Jack. Jack's rise through the heavyweight ranks becomes bittersweet when Mabel leaves him for Bob. Eventually Jack winds up fighting Bob for both the title and his wife.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| The Ring (1927) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: Somewhat atypical for the Hitchcock canon. It's the only Sports Story he ever made. It's the only film he ever directed in which he got sole credit for the screenplay. It doesn't have the kind of plot elements usually found in Hitchcock—no crime, no murder, no one Wrongfully Accused, not a thriller (it's a simple Love Triangle drama). And he does not have a Creator Cameo; he was hit and miss with the cameos in his silent film days. | |

Double-Meaning Title | |
| The Ring (1927) / int_a4905771 | comment |
Double-Meaning Title: The ring is a boxing ring, but it's also the wedding ring Jack gives Mabel, and the bracelet that Bob gives Mabel to wear on her upper arm. | |
