According to critic Dave Kehr, The Pleasure Garden's opening scene stands like a virtual "clip reel of Hitchcock motifs to come". The very first shot captures chorus girls descending a spiral staircase (see Vertigo); a man uses opera glasses to better appreciate a blond chorus dancer (see Rear Window); and the same blond, who at first appears erotically remote, later emerges as down-to-earth and approachable (see Family Plot).
