at first and i think the ring would be a more than normal movie with it ordinary plot . how surprised be i. of course and the plot be simple one girl be in love with two men but hitchcock bring it to u on a silver platter and with laughter and fear and with compassion and anguish . the way he depict the popular crowd of the fair and the strength of the attraction of the girl to both men and the tragic element that come together with technique that open the mind to most of his great movie ( north by northwest and the rope and etc . ) . the master do it great even before his thirty .
