Evidently A Cult Classic In The Making. ♦ 86%

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2013)

Starting off with the pleasantries, the plot dives into something deeper. And that thing is the suspense in the first half. In the second half, however, the suspense is something else. It is the job & fun of the viewers to find it out.
James Stewart is amazing, but the antagonist in here is adorable & in the limelight. Performances are immense & I am in love with the dialogs, especially those delivered by Stewart's smart alecky finesse. Music is fine, so is the direction. Cinematography is exceptional as is usual in a Hitchcock movie.
I cannot end this without mentioning that apart from crime & investigation & spying, large part of it deals with relationships, slapstick & heavy sarcasm which is, of course, a treat for eyes & ears.
Being not an original work, I rate it a huge 8.6 out of 10 for the maximum entertainment. Although, I cannot dub this as the makers' best.
BOTTOM LINE: Recommended. A wonderful suspense thriller with humor.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
