Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

If you watch a Hitchcock film you know you are watching something special. The best known film he made is Psycho, and yes, it was very special. To give too much away from the plot would be a waste, so I will not do that.

The story is one of the best suspense stories I know, but even without the story I could enjoy a film like this. Even now it still is scary, the acting is great, Hitchcock does a marvelous job with his directing, cinematography in black and white is well chosen and we probably all know the music. Including one of the most famous scenes ever filmed this is a film you have to see.
