Viewing Notes

Almost a screwball comedy but closer to absurd. Didn’t realize that was the kind of movie this would be especially from Hitchcock but made it more interesting. The bright autumn foliage of Vermont is also quite beautiful. Bring color back to movies again.

The character age reveals and the prices for goods were very humorous. Overall a breezy Sunday evening viewing.
