Even Hitchcock pulls some boners

Rating: 3/10 (10 March 2007)

Hitchcock is obviously one of the best directors, if not the best, of all time, and Stewart is one of the greatest actors. However, they've made over a hundred films between them, and there are a couple of clunkers. This is one. The suspense exists, and mystery, so we are told. However, it is not possible to know this first hand, because no creature on Earth can sit through the movie. This is because it has the worst and most annoying sound effects ever in any movie. Hitchcok certainly wanted the audience to twist and hate the noise, but there is considerable overkill here. A human's nerves can't take this horrible noise and concentrate on what is going on. Even if you sit through it, you don't know what is going on, because you are in way too much pain. Some people insist they can watch it, but it isn't possible without drugs. I wonder what drugs they are taking? A normal person would need two and a half strong Valiums to even begin to sit through this. Not watchable.
