alfred hitchcock make this highly enjoyable and under rat divertissment in 1950 after a run of glum movie in the second half of the forty but before embark on his rich period in the fifty . it also bring him back to britain for a very old fashion comedy thriller that wouldn not have look out of place among his thirty thriller . it also the one with the twist that turn out to be hitchcock cheating or and shall we say and break the rule and detractor of the movie haven not forgive for it . there be also no flab in the movie whatsoever while it kick off with a murder and subsequently develop into a good old chase yarn . the principal part be take by jane wyman and cast against type and underplaying nicely and and marlene dietrich in one of her theatrical grande dame role and ( in this one she sing the lazy gal in town ) . the men be slightly frenetic richard todd and a bland michael wilding but it be the support cast of marvelous british character player who be the best value and give the film it bounce . we have alastair sim and sybil thorndike and kay walsh and joyce grenfell and a wonderfully sleazy turn from an unlikely mile malleson . set piece be few and ( the doll at the garden fete be one of them ) and but a i have say and this be a divertissment and very good fun it be and too .
