i do not think it be as good a north by northwest and rebecca and but stage fright be a great film and and this be come from a hitchcock fan . the photography be beautiful and and so be the music and make some scene like the one in the taxi very touch . the script be well craft and and while you think you know what happen and the final solution be very unpredictable . my only complaint for the film be the last couple of minute and the film just end abruptly without a rounded finish or even a monologue . i like the story and about a man who be accuse of murder and a friend of his set out to clear his name and it be well told and and doesn not have a sense of contrivance and and i do fear it would do . a for the acting and i have very little problem with it and jane wyman be perfectly allure a eve . michael wilding delight a ordinary smith and and while he start off a tad wooden and richard todd be fine too . two of the film star impress me the most though . one be marlene dietrich and who be deliciously frosty a the stage actress and singer mr winstead . i find dietrich quite captivate and with her lovingly design clothes and beautiful face and distinctive voice and i think she be a great actress . the other be alistair sim and who i consider the best scrooge ever and with george c. scott close behind he have some very funny moment and the most notable one be at the garden party and the doll stall . even hitchcock himself have a cameo 30 minute into the film and a do his daughter patricia . i do not know until the end credit and that kay walsh and nancy in oliver twist and play the maid . all in all and a very overlooked film and that be actually very clever . it isn not hitchcock best and but it be a very good film . positive bethany cox .
