in my never end quest to see a many quality movie a possible in my lifetime and i stumble upon this film on cable . i try hitchcock three time before this and and never have i felt that the man work live up to the praise he have receive . i always felt he be good and not great ( from what i have see ) this be the best of his film i have see thusfar . robert walker be absolutely chill and his performance take the film where hitchcock want it to go . even an average performance here damage the overall product . my favorite scene be his obsession about get the lighter from the drain ( how exactly do he get his arm down there though . ) bruno be quite a compelling character and but i also love the performance by patricia hitchcock a barbara . the rest of the morton family as well a guy be a bit dry and boring and but she add some flare to the movie and as well a have some of the good line in the script . lastly and in any suspense movie and youre go to live and die by your end . this one hold water and unlike a couple other hitchcock film i have see . i truly be unsure of how it would end and which keep me on the edge while i watch and wait .
