Not a Hitchcock essential but totally worth the watch if you are a fan of his.
It was a decent movie I suppose, not my favorite Hitchcock tho. At times it was annoying, I mean I’ve never seen a family so full of idiots.
Hitchcock film about a family. Tension rises slowly to a crescendo. J. Cotton is devilishly mysterious. Most American film of the director's
How do our emotions influence in moral decision-making? We watch a mystery unravel through a blinded by fascination young woman's eyes.
Suspenseful story about disillusionment in one's heroes. Absolutely worth your time.
Genuinely loved the suspense in this film. Not Hitchcock’s very best but certainly close. Underrated as hell!
A pinnacle in social commentary that gives us good reason to question everybody we know in this portrait of the death of one’s innocence
Incredible movie form Hitchcock. A lot of suspense and tension. Definitely overlooked.
Classic noir plot and tone, but the main actress really overdoes it with the pure, American girl impression.
Not the best Hitchcock film I’ve seen (that would be Vertigo), but it’s still entertaining. I’m not sure how memorable though.
