Silly but beautiful

Rating: 3/10 (7 July 2019)

I find it hard to admit, being a big fan, but this is the silliest Hitchcockian film I've seen and it strikes me why so many folk rate this is as possibly Hitchcocks masterpiece. For me the film is beautifully shot and flows from scene to scene so effortlessly but that's where the admiration ends.
Sadly though there are too many chronic plot holes and let's just start with chucking a doll off the bell tower? So Stewart's character (Scotty) accepted her death despite not checking the Madeline at the bottom was just a doll? Just to make it even more implausible, the authorities didn't even check.
