the most famous thing about stage fright be without a doubt it final plot twist while have see the film twice now and i can say that the twist almost hold up and but there be one scene and or more accurately one line and that cheat ( todd and dietrich meet in her dressing room and alone and and she say the word accident ) . two other characteristic of this movie be it brilliant camera work ( especially at the start and when todd go into the house where the dead body be ) and and it well write dialogue . unfortunately and there be less of the former and more of the latter the movie be overly talky . jane wyman appear to be bland at the start and but a the film go on and she have to assume all these different identity and she get well . richard todd be effective in his key scene ( the close ups of his eye at the finale ) . michael wilding be likable a the detective and alastair sim be delightfully dry a wyman father ( at one point she say i will make her talk . it will be one woman to another . sim response represent yes . an impressive situation at any time ) . the one performance i do not like be marlene dietrich it be old fashion even by 1950 standard . but maybe that what hitchcock have in mind . ( half ) .
