December 2, 2007This is a film that could be studied in film classes. The character build-up mixed with brilliant camera direction makes this a notable Hitchcock film. Grace Kelly gives what I consider to be her best performance in a Hitchcock film next to To Catch a Thief and Rear Window.
Ray Milland and John Williams are perfect opposites for this investigation that takes place. Both underrated performances.
