You know, this is only the third work of hitchcock's temporary director! It's really "a genius from ancient times"!
In hitchcock's films, "love" is definitely an essential element. (This has also become the signature of hitchcock in the future, "suspense" and "romance"), whether it is the "heart" game between the police and the heroine, or the chess game by the fire between the tenant and the heroine, or the tenant and the heroine. The affectionate kiss at the end of the film... can be called a fascinating drama!
Hitchcock's critique of news public opinion and the public's blind obedience in this film is obvious, such as the newspaper vendors who shouted that Tuesday (murderer's day) is my lucky day, such as the group of people who almost killed innocent tenants them.
Finally, let's talk about the real murderer in the movie who never appeared in front of him. Why he took revenge on those women who are helpless is really baffling. Of course, there may be no explanation at all, hitchcock Just borrowed "Devil Jack", the real-life demon who once appeared, as a pure movie clue.
