Hitchcock is a legendary figure in the film industry, and I am afraid that 50 years later people will still describe him as such. An uncomplicated murder case leads the audience all the way, creating a series of suspense and accidents. Except for the hotel and the car, the filming location has hardly left the house, just like a play that can be performed with only two background cloths and a few props, the director's skill is evident. Moreover, the use of the lens is very clean and concise, and the carefully designed dialogue is too much to add, and too little to be too little.
In short, this is a veritable master's film, and although it has been half a century, it is still enduring. The only thing that makes people uncomfortable is that the rhythm is too tight and streamlined, so that the husband's financial flaws make the plot arrangement of the detective suspect and design a trap appear abrupt. In addition, the beautiful Grace Kelly's acting skills are really uncomplimentable, in stark contrast to the superb acting skills of the male protagonist, it is no exaggeration to be called a vase fruit.
