oh dear quite how alfred hitchcock ( north by northwest and spellbound and the 39 step ) could turn out this nasty and cheapjack shocker be beyond me . don not bother look for hidden depth or deep meaning there aren not any . this be just horrid and seedy and cheap . the one redeeming feature be the home life of the inspector who lead the investigation his wife fancy herself a a gourmet cook and constantly serve up her revolt culinary experiment to her poor husband . this be amuse and and just about save me put the film in the awful bracket and but the film a a whole be one of the most unpleasant i have ever see . i believe this be hitchcock next to last film perhaps someone be try to tell him something .
