I tried Hitchcock three times before this, and never have i felt that the man's work lived up to the praise he had received.

Unfortunately, it also has its shortcomings, some of which Hitchcock has repeated later. First off, the ending is a little too neat and "perfect". In the last few scenes, ... | 1 |
