“Sean Ou0026#39;Caseyu0026#39;s play does not translate to the screen very well. A bit talky, it may have worked fine on stage, but it is not movie material. Still Hitchcock has moments where he shows his genius as a filmmaker. There are camera shots and editing cuts that tell more of the story than any of Ou0026#39;Caseyu0026#39;s dialog.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStill, I would not recommend this film for anyone who is new to the work of Alfred Hitchcock. Save this one for the advance class, and let the beginners view u0026quot;The Secret Agent,u0026quot; u0026quot;Shadow of a Doubt,u0026quot; u0026quot;Vertigo,u0026quot; and u0026quot;Psycho,u0026quot; just to name a few.”
