First hour of this is a bit lethargic but the set up definitely pays off in the final third. Plenty of pretty photography to accompany us on the wait which saves it from becoming too monotonous, and it sticks the landing, in my opinion, despite some fairly minor gripes. 

Joan Fontaine plays such an evil woman in this movie and honestly that’s exactly what I need in a movie to enjoy it.

Honestly that freaky little theme was 40 years ahead of its time. Very excellent score. Detective had a monk moment. LOVE a plotting Joan Fontaine! That end rules. What a weird and evil little movie.
