stage fright have become one of my favourite hitchcock movie . even though it not in the same league a psycho or rear window and it still an extremely delightful piece of film making . what make it so enjoyable be the wonderful cast and which be mostly unknown to me before . jane wyman make a lovely heroine for the audience to care about and and marlene dietrich be a riot a the stage diva and although i be a bit skeptical toward her at first . the scene between alastair sim and sybil thorndike a wyman eccentric parent be hilarious . richard todd be perhaps a bit weak a the suspected murderer and but not distractingly so . all in all and i find this a far more preferable watch experience than some of his more acclaimed film like notorious or the bird which be kind of cold and sterile . see it if you have the chance .
