at least sir alfred hitchcock know early on that comedy weren not his forte and and that thriller and mystery be where his strength have lie . this film be completely unfunny and and i do not think it just 50 sensibility not work in the 21st century . i enjoy many of hitchcock film and and vertigo be probably in my all time top 20. but this be probably the bad hitchcock movie i have ever see . john forsythe be so bad and unfunny that he be actually annoy and irritate . the only positives i can say about this film be that it have beautiful vermont scenery and and it be fun to see shirley mclaine in her first movie and as well a jerry mathers before he make it big on leave it to beaver .
