A man on the run, a sharp young woman at his side, and a murder mystery that unravels with wit and energy.
I didn’t have high expectations going into this film, but I actually really enjoyed it. I love Hitchcock’s older movies, and this one had that great mix of mystery, romance, and even a bit of comedy at times. And that crane shot? Absolutely brilliant.
