Very good film, given the date it was made

Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2012)

I am not the biggest fan of Hitchcock. Here, however, I found a very interesting film. Its a psychological thriller, like the other films by Hitchcock, which try to active the reptile part of our brains. Though, in this case, we have an exceptional case. The overall quality of the film is very high and I understand why this film is regarded as Hithcock's best among film critics and why it was placed first in the last Sign and Sound pool.
It was placed first in the Sign and Sound pool because every film critic had his Hitchcock film to report among their top 10 favorite films, given that Hitchcock is considered the greatest director ever and this is obviously the "best" film by Hitchcock, though it is not my personal favorite (Psycho is my favorite). But it is very good and I highly recommend it.
