Definitely worth buying, especially with the soundtrack, which is something I enjoyed listening to before I'd seen the film.
The movie itself is a great piece of silent cinema and something you'll appreciate if you've seen most of Hitchcock's later works (and the 'classics' of silent cinema) because you can see what he was doing in the silent era which he expanded on decades later when characters could speak the dialogue.
Having the soundtrack as a CD means you can have the music separately and appreciate what an excellent score it is (strings, some woodwind and even vocalising I think) in its own right and even more powerful when accompanying the images of a master filmmaker.
