What's the big deal?

Rating: 5/10 (23 February 2000)

I love Hitchcocks' movies--he was undoubtedly one of the greatest directors of our time--but what's the big deal about this movie. It's well-directed (obviously) and the acting is good, but the story is predictable, the dialogue dull (except for a few of Thelma Ritter's wisecracks) and it's just plain boring! Also I can't seriously accept the fact that someone as beautiful and classy as Grace Kelly would fall in love with Stewart. He's old enough to be her father! So, I don't see why everybody loves this film, and I consider it one of Hitchcocks' lesser works.
