You get what you get with Hitchcock: people openly plotting the perfect crime, blonde women, a falsely accused hero being tortured, action confined to one setting, plot turns, inept authority figures, and great usage of stairs. But here, his suspense is a little off. The first 2 acts are perfect, with the audience one step ahead of a great Grace Kelly. But the ending (which mixes caper with Hercule Poirot style mystery solving) is a bit off. And the 1950's homophobia really dates the picture.

Clever who-tried-it (?) with great long shots, superb dialogue and lots of suspense. And a female character from hell. Still, a deserving classic from Hitchcock.

Deserving of its classic status. I wasn't surprised to find out that this is based on a play, considering its long and terrific conversations, but Hitchcock masterfully turns up the suspense. Probably the blueprint for many great Columbo episodes.

Enjoyable. Really shines during the second act with the classic Hitchcock suspense. The whole explanation upfront in the first act is boring, yet necessary for the film to work. It could have been a bit more interesting though, because it was a lot of talking.

Under Quarantine Film Reviews #12: Unsurprisingly, Hitchcock crafts a great film. It really is a testament to his skill that he manages to make such an effective thriller within a single set and a simple concept. Milland is fantastic as the calm and cool plotter but Cummings plays such a dull character that it made me root against him throughout. Although I do believe Rope did the whole "the perfect murder" better.

Why are we not ending every murder-mystery with a posh cop combing his mustache? The first 15 minutes or so had me wondering where the first act with all of the character development went. It's non-stop exposition for a while, but what it sets in motion is intricately orchestrated and immensely satisfying.
