    One of the funniest Hitchcock films. The film is quite straightforward, without a lot of chatty dialogue. The male protagonist is very unlucky. Although he is innocent, all the suspects point to him. Even sleeping at a friend's house, the pot can come from the sky. If it hadn't been for the detective's wife's determination (the wife should stop cooking, let's solve the case), the hesitant detective might not have gone to overturn the case. In this film, you can see many Hitchcock shots, and the...

    Pure fire, very beautiful. Performance, scheduling, psychological cues, and the multi-level shots of Lao Xi's signature, and later the more skilled close-up of the action, the long shot of stepping back from the stairs, the silence of the courtroom scene, the big rocker arm and the big overhead shot to break yourself, and the late works are still there. There are breakthroughs, too powerful, the literary quality is no longer so strong, and it has a more cinematic feel, the rhythm is very good,...

    A classic in the later period of "Hays Code" by Xifa , The villain of Xi Fatt's previous movies has never been so direct. The sadistic murder during that period of time in the film repeatedly tortured the victim and also devastated the audience. Compared with the reversal of suspense, Xi Fat still loves the construction of psychological thrillers. Therefore, although the protagonist is misunderstood, his innocence is quickly returned. He has thus become a tool for the audience to increase their...

    Hahahahaha, Xi Fat is so cute, there are three or four scenes that are too scary, but there are always cold jokes, fish, poultry, pig trotters. The script is great, Mr. Rust, you are not wearing your tie. It's very Hitchcockian, and in an era like the 70s, it seems a bit... out of tune with the...

    + Why is it so underrated? I'm afraid it is his best work. There is no false sense of studio shooting, no clichés inserted in order to regulate the play, and the insane temperament grows wildly between the shots. It's really good to compare it to a British film like "Voyeur" that pretends to be fierce but is really...

    His late works. After the abolition of the Hays Code, the scale is larger, the sense of horror is stronger, and it is more modern. Two impressive designs: 1. The way of mobilizing emotions: When the assistant of the dating agency entered the murder scene, he did not scream immediately. The camera stopped at the door for a while, and when the audience started to get a little anxious, they heard screams. 2. Babs and the murderer entered the house and did not film the crime as the audience...

    20 years later, after returning to the UK, 73-year-old Xi Fatt is the second-to-last work in his later years. The actors are average, and the tie is a perverted method of killing women. A good person who has been wronged, a murderer who kills people everywhere, twists and turns, and the scale is large enough....
