This is not one of Hitchcock's best
I really don't like things that are overrated. What's so special about this film? Not one of the characters is likeable. Not one. Also I failed to detect the mystery in this movie. Where's the mystery? Everything was obvious and the dialogue that led to the unveiling was not compelling at all.
I find it pretentious to say that this movie is Hitchcock's best. Just watch Vertigo and you'll see the difference.
