This is a classic Hitchcock mystery/drama. On someone's recommendation I can't remember, way back I put it on my Netflix queue. Just watched it. WOW. Just in case you ever need a reminder of Hitchcock's supremacy as a director, just give this one a watch. (or re-watch) Not only is it an interesting story, (not masterful, though) there are directing touches like lighting, shadows, and camera placement that even today blow away other filmmakers.
I found out very quickly from the start that this is not a movie you can watch while doing other stuff, like surfing internet news as I occasionally do on my laptop. You have to pay meticulous attention to what Hitchcock shows you in the movie, and what characters are doing.
Great stuff, and a CAN'T MISS for any movie afficionado. Not perfection, but I gave it :45: out of :5:. I'm going to revisit Hitchcock's other stuff, too.
