The opening chapter looks a bit chaotic at first glance, and the miscellaneous language and farce actually subtly pave the way for the characters of each character.
There is some splendor in the chaos, the comedy caused by the cook's language barrier, the ironic call to ask a stranger for a cricket game, and the little fight between the noise-making rascal Kant and Kelly.
The most interesting part is naturally that Kelly woke up and found that the old woman was missing, but none of the people in the car admitted that they had seen the dramatic plot of the old woman, and even made the audience wonder whether it was really Kelly who had hallucinations. . After the appearance of a woman in the same dress, the development of the story seems to be even more confusing.
The hand and shadow that killed the guitarist, the traces of FROY that remained on the window and disappeared mysteriously, the magician's standing card exposed in the warehouse, the hand that suddenly came in from behind the shoulder when picking up the lens... Hitchcock always let People put their attention in one place, then turn the fire, and in another place surprise the audience.
However, going forward, in the second half, the ending becomes not difficult to guess, and the shootout part does not seem to be any more exciting today. Maybe it will be better in 1938.
