    This may be one of the best Hitchcock movies proir to coming to the US. It has that nice little twist to it and has a couple of really great special FX scenes in the movie too. It's a must watch for anyone interested in the journey Hitchcock took prior to coming to the US.

    I was amazed to see that the 1930s had such a story build up.
