A late career high of sorts as Hitchcock returns to the UK to shoot another ‘wrong man’ picture in the guise of a serial killer thriller.

An enjoyable early murder mystery by Hitchcock that explores how theatre and life can intertwine in what is a precursor to the likes of ‘Stage Fright’ and ‘The Wrong Man’. 

One of Hitchcock’s most underrated works—and it sees the director at his most patient, crafting a tale that builds up spellbindingly.
