The Missing Lady
Rating: 8.0
Hitchcock is one of the best films made in the UK, earning high marks both commercially and professionally.
Although Xi Pang doesn't have much opinion on the structure of this story, he is indeed very skilled in terms of dialogue and character profiles. Two old fans who love to watch cricket matches try their best to find out the result of an important match; there is also a fake couple whose relationship is not simple through a few simple conversations. They are both extramarital affairs, and their attitudes about concealment are completely different; but what these four have in common is that they are patriotic, and they share the same hatred for those who conspire to harm Britain. These ordinary supporting characters are all through a simple short paragraph, and each person's character, preferences, and urgent intentions are clearly expressed.
Although the story is a kind of psychological suspense that Hitchcock is good at, it has a degree of relaxation, and there is a lot of British humor in the middle. Magic, circus, etc., allow people to experience continuous funny humor while being tense and exciting. It's not uncommon for the male protagonist to save the beauty, but the male and female protagonists are set up in the mode of rejoicing with each other, which may have been relatively rare at the time.
