i wish i hadn't seen hitchcock films before, this might have impressed me more. basically a really fun watch, and the ending was a pleasant surprise. but hitch's tricks are in the end just that, and this film is full of them.

The scene in which you witness a murder through the victim's glasses is one of the most frightening and effective film techniques I've ever seen. This is also one of Hitchcock's films in which he explores the darker side of human nature, and is one of his most disturbing in that respect.

Absolutely trademark Hitchcock. It's endless visual trick after trick, and almost all of the movie's suspense is a result of crafty cinematography. Robert Walker is outstanding, though at the opposite end Farley Granger's performance is pretty dated. Even still, the chemistry between them is excellent.

A simple but great premise that Hitchcock can run with. There are some incredible scenes in this, my favorite being the haunting shot during the tennis match.

The second half wasn't as good as I hoped after watching the first, but Robert Walker did a great job this time.

Farley Granger is too over-the-top and Robert Walker is just bad. The plot is somewhat predictable (Who doesn't know that when Guy says "Okay" that Bruno takes that as permission to kill Miriam?) and just otherwise not interesting.

One of my favorite not-technically-a-noir noirs. Robert Walker is freakin' awesome. And this contains my single favorite Hitchcock shot - the tennis crowd shot.

Some brilliant sequences and a great performance by Robert Walker. The plot would have been better if it had stuck closer to the book though.
