1. The "Hitchcock Touch" is already visible in this first film. We already have alluring blonds ladies and villains. There is a crime. And also some humour, like the sign "Smoking is prohibited" and a character smoking in front of it.
2. I agree that many themes, iconographies are present is that short film.
3. I do not feel that there are a lot of limitations, quite the opposite as film is very much a visual form of art. Since Hitchcock started during the silent era, he subsequently always constructed films visually.
