this have be a difficult to see hitchcock for many year and and i finally catch up with it on the new dvd issue . i be pleasantly surprise that the agenda be first to have compel character in interesting situation and and the whole microcosm in a lifeboat clichés be keep to an absolute minimum . yes and hitchcock know he doesn not need to preach he can slip in the message between the crack . supposedly he jettison steinbeck original treatment because it be too propagandistic . i really enjoy the slow reveals of willy the nazi skill and plan and and the interesting character turn the supposedly socialist kovac show ( become enamor with connie bracelet and and then with the rich ( and strange . ) connie herself ) . best of all be the emphasis on connie arc and and how the glamorous tallulah bankhead lose everything along the way and but gain confidence in her belief . for be a one set film and it be surprisingly open and visually interesting . it be never didactic and boring and or static . the end and as well and which have draw some criticism and neatly convey irony and patriotic and moral issue elegantly and ambiguously . no over the head propaganda here . very fun and tightly do film .
