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.

    Each of Xi Fatt’s films has at least one wonderful passage; in this film, the passionate fireworks passage is very good; in the opposite scene where John meets Bet Downey, the camera clearly shows the transition of the “field”, which is also a good example of the scene. In the end, the culprit bought the foreshadowing; only then did he discover that Xi Fatt was really ingenious in his mirror movement; the villain was in danger at the climax, and the audience was not nervous, which was a failure. In the Xi fat movie, it is the work of the middle and lower.
