Viewing Notes

Very entertaining, but slightly different from the usual Hitchcock film.  It’s more light-hearted, humorous, filled with sexual innuendo.

Shot in VistaVision, it’s a great-looking film.  I will always remember seeing this in college, at the Nuart theatre in L.A., and being amazed by the color and sharpness of the images.
