I saw this classic old movie in the cinema, and I couldn't help but sigh that Hitchcock's movie is really good. The cinematography of this film is breathtaking. There are several things that surprised me. This turned out to be a film from the 1950s. Although there were technical limitations at the time, Hitchcock was always able to use different angles or make essays on colors to achieve what he wanted. Realistic effects, this kind of imagination is the most lacking in Hollywood today. In addition, the wonderful suspense and humorous dialogue of this film are also what I admire. Even the costumes of the male protagonist and the shocking temperament of the female protagonist impressed me deeply. The more old movies like this are really the better, and the chances must be enough for Hitchcock's movies.

    The filming is quite protracted = = And the male lead doesn't look strong at all... The female lead is quite good-looking and beautifully dressed... Hitchcock is messing around in the movie again...

    This is exactly the level of a New Year's film, with handsome guys and beauties rejoicing with each other, there is no shortage of funny plots and suspenseful plots, happy endings, plus the exquisite Baroque Rococo costumes and shiny diamonds inlaid in the fancy dress ball, in fact, What Xi Fat has always wanted to do is comedy. Looking closely, Grace Kelly is actually a square face. The Hollywood actresses in the 1950s were all beautiful and each with their own characteristics. Everyone has their own unique temperament.

    John Robie: Why did I take up stealing? To live better, to own things I couldn't afford, to acquire this good taste that you now enjoy and which I should be very reluctant to give up.

    H. H. Hughson: Then you are frankly dishonest.

    John Robie: I try to be.

  • H. H. Hughson: The pastries are light as air.

    John Robie: Germaine has very sensitive hands and an exceedingly light touch. She strangled a German general - without a sound.
