this movie get a very much undeserved amount of flack for be a lessor work of hitchcock . i can see why it might not appeal to some people and be character driven rather than have child be chase by rampant bird or someone be attack by a serial killer in an old lady wig . the performance here be all excellent especially jane wyman and marlene dietrich a charlotte inwood and perhaps the lazy girl in town but also the most flamboyant . the secondary character be also in fine form and make memorable impression that add to the enjoyment factor of this film . i do not know why some people feel trick after watch the movie and seeing and believe be two different thing and especially in an alfred hitchcock movie .
