It deepens my feelings about Hitchcock's dislike

1. Paul Newman and Julie Andrew are definitely the highlights of this movie. When the former heroine didn't know the truth and the hero didn't dare to speak out, the interaction between the two protagonists was so sensible. Paul Newman's melancholy broke my heart.

2. As for the protagonist’s poor initiative and the supporting role overwhelmingly dominant, that’s a characteristic of many Hitchcock films, such as "Northwest", "Thirty-Nine Steps", "Doctor Edward", "Butterfly Dream", "Rear Window" and so on. Isn't it all like this? Which one depends on the protagonist's own ingenuity to actively solve the problem? Isn’t it all by shit? This is not to blame for the actors.

3. As a fan of Hitchcock and Paul Newman, I feel sad that some film critics belittle actors and promote directors. I will post this to balance it.
