The story is a good one, very Agatha's style, very similar. A story imagined by sitting at home, only needs one window, facing the window of the opposite building, those colorful windows are constantly leaking the secrets of their owners, as long as you are interested to watch.
I think this may be Hitchcock's weakness. He has to keep innovating and introducing new suspense after another, because the chance of his films being rewatchable is almost zero. But I have read Ryazanov's "Station for Two" and "The Story of the Office" several times (we will talk about Ryazanov in the next section), but I still can't get enough of it. At this time, I began to wonder about Hitchcock, if I lost the suspense and lost my usual photography skills, what would be left? What's left? A common gimmick in some vulgar movies, or some clips of beautiful blondes. Some people say: It's wrong, it's right to go on. How profound are these words, can you tell what is right and what is wrong? Or Lu Xun said it well: whoever says is right. But aren't the media spreading the truth everywhere? If I were you, I would choose to close the window and go to bed. There is no truth in dreams.
