Possibly the worst film I have ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (16 May 2019)

Having been born in the same year this was made, and having grown up on old Hollywood films, I wondered why I had no real memory of this one. Now I have had the misfortune to watch it I realise I must have blanked it from my memory or couldn't stick it out to the very end.
This has got to be the worst film I have ever had the misfortune to see. The acting was abysmal, complete with silly cartoon facial expressions. Nobody behaved in a remotely believable way and I lost count of the ways in which this whole premise could have collapsed (and in fact did). That it continued to limp on regardless was not to its credit.
The story was utterly stupid but worst of all I was bored beyond endurance. This film has nothing to recommend it at all, although I do admit to being curious about what's at the start of the Golden Gate bridge, so there was that I suppose.
I don't know what Hitchcock thought he was doing, unless he had dismantled some reject scripts and taped the bits he liked together, or maybe he decided to give a 10 year old would-be script writer an early break.
The ending was so stupid as to be unbelievable. By this time I was rather hoping they'd both plunge from the roof and that the awful intrusive violin music would finally stop. If I could summon up any more interest I would look into the early reviews but really, I cannot believe anyone at the time, however gullible, would think this any good.
Surely the 10 out of 10 ratings amongst these other reviews can only be because midern audiences have been instructed that Hitchcock was such a master. Well, I'm sorry - this turkey bombed big time and I wouldn't be jumping into the Bay to save it.
