At the beginning of the film, the two murderers killed the victim, hid the body in a bookcase, and then arranged tableware and food on the bookcase to hold a party. It's the classic Hitchcockian suspense of putting bombs under the table and people sitting around playing cards. As those who attended the party realized the abnormality of the victim's delay in showing up, the murderer became more and more impatient and the suspense tightened. Until the end, the murderer finally revealed his flaws, and was seen through by the boss who was clearly discerning and brought the murderer to justice. During the whole process, the gradual advancement of the characters' dialogue and the subtle changes in the characters' emotions were all connected in series by the smooth scheduling of the camera, and pushed to the peak at the final moment. It is a pity that the climax of the whole film gave the boss a passionate lecture, which gave the film a slightly pedantic ending.
The fourth episode of the first season of the British drama "Crazy City" completed the tribute to the film with a 30-minute long shot from beginning to end, which should be said to be more interesting.
