      From classic to modern

      Based on the novel Goodbye, Piccadilly; Farewell, Leicester Square, by Arthur Labine. Hitchcock is obsessed with the display of lust, which is very intuitive in this film. The British view murder as both lustful pursuits (as reflected in the opening dialogue between the two detectives), as well as fear and anxiety (the panic-stricken crowd of bodies found). The film has been switching back and forth between a wronged hero and a murderer with a strange xp, and the plot is driven by two crimes committed by the murderer. The scene of turning potatoes in the truck compartment is full of tension. Hitchcock abandoned his extensive description of the love scene, and still used the routine of telling you the murderer early and seeing how the murderer was caught later. The Detective's House is a lot like Mike Lee's awkward social comedy
