Viewing Notes

Will never hold up as a classic like some of Hitchcock’s other films but it was still a good watch. I especially liked the inspector and his wife and the comedy their scenes injected into the film to offset the rest of the grim proceedings. I think you could easily describe this as Hitchcock’s most lurid film.
