The orchestra scene gave me so much anxiety. I have never waited so long for a single crash of cymbals. It was absolutely fascinating
Do Jo and Ben have any sense of survival instinct? How do they go to the police station together and leave their son with a woman they had just met the night before? Even without knowing what would happen next, that thought was already haunting me

It’s all worth it for the Albert Hall sequence.

While most of this film drags a good amount, it is totally redeemed by its climactic scene, where you’re anxiously awaiting this assassination attempt. The movie has no dialogue for 5 minutes and you’re totally on the edge of your seat. It’s the perfect example of Hitch having the audience in the palm of his hands.

Both Stewart and Doris Day felt oddly underutilized though, and I wish the adventure leading up until that point felt more engaging.

When watching this a second time, I realise how rushed the ending is but it takes nothing away from the thrilling masterpiece from Hitchcock.
