Very good

Really enjoyed this. Quite a short film, and Alfred Hitchcock delivered another intriguing film.

SPOILERS

The story is interesting, and I like how two sides of the two men played out against the other. The one confident, even arrogant, and the other paranoid and frightened.

Some shots were masterful in the tension. The prolonged shot focusing on James Stewart and the other shot of Mrs. Wilson cleaning off the chest, while the others were in conversation.

James Stewart delivered another good performance. John Dall and Farley Granger also delivered really good performances.

The conclusion was really good and quite satisfying.

A really good film, and highly recommended watch.

Love this movie, need to rewatch. Love how it's made to look like one continuous shot. I think he would've done it in one shot if the reels of film were big enough. I think there are only around ten cuts or so in the movie.
