The opening chapter narrates his bizarre encounter from the perspective of the male protagonist, with a lot of suspense, and let the audience follow along to guess where and who the agent they are looking for is; and with the appearance of the intelligence bureau, this suspense is lifted, this The fact that the audience can't laugh or cry is undoubtedly attractive, and the appearance of the heroine makes the story naturally transition to another line. The second half is no longer suspenseful, but it can still hold the audience's heart.

I have to sigh, it's good to look good. It turns out that this is already a world of looking at the face... Although it seems that the makeup, hair, clothing and styling are a bit old-fashioned, there is no doubt that the male protagonist exudes a sense of smell all over his body. The charm of a mature man, the heroine is a perfect fusion of angel and charm, and is worthy of being the best candidate for undercover to seduce the villain. After several encounters between the male and female protagonists, the classic and superb flirting plot is not pretentious, not ambiguous, or vulgar, and it is pleasing to the eye, so the follow-up development will go with the flow. Later I learned that at the beginning of the film, there is a bloated guy on the screen who is catching a bus and is locked out, and that is Hitchcock himself. Not only this one, but this one, he has to gain a sense of existence. He is a very interesting director. No wonder he can produce so many interesting suspense dramas.

Hitchcock is interesting and willful. The classic scene of the plane chasing people on the highway in the latter part of the film is the focus of everyone's discussion. Where did the plane come from? Was the enemy sent to kill him? Is it necessary to use this way? It is a pesticide and a machine gun, and the picture is full of impact, but it does not seem to have any effect on the development of the plot. Everyone has mixed feelings about this episode. What Hitchcock's true intentions are, I don't know, I can only judge - he is very willful...
