Several dresses of the heroine are really good-looking, and Hitchcock's aesthetics are not bad. (At the same time, the aesthetics of the Prince of Monaco is also quite good)

Overall, the rhythm is a bit slow, but the director successfully used the neighbor's life to cleverly avoid the audience's aesthetic fatigue. (I found Hitchcock really liked using long lenses)
The killer at the end suddenly breaks the fourth wall, forcing the audience to enter the story from the bystander.
But using flashlights to scare killers is a bit of a downer.
The plot is really a bit thin (I feel that except for "North by Northwest", "Butterfly Dream" and "Vertigo", the Hitchcock movies I have watched seem to have less full plots, often a main line to the end, and the characters are relatively flat) . Although I have been waiting for the reversal, it is such an old film after all, and no reversal is the biggest reversal.
