Sublime. While it takes a while to get going, once the Macguffin is introduced in the guise of a myesterious ring, I was hooked. While at first I wasn't sure Joseph Cotten (who is an actor I greatly admire), was completely believable as the 'good Uncle Charlie', I came to realise that it doesn't really matter, it was never really the intention for him to start th... read more

I have always been a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock’s work and since this movie was his last classic I still haven’t watch yet, I was really eager to check it out. On top of that, it was apparently Hitchcock’s favorite movies so I was expecting a lot from the damned thing. Well, to be honest, I was rather amazed by how little I actually cared about this movie. I mean, sure, it was still a dece... read more

Charlie Oackley is the "Merry Widow Murderer", an evil strangler who seduces and kills rich widows. In order to be safe from the police he is going to his sister Emma who lives with her husband, Joseph Newton and her daughter Charlie. A detective is on the killer's track and arrives at the Newton's too, but before he can discover the truth, one of the suspected murderers dies in an accident and the police considers the case solved. Charles seems to be safe, but Charlie suspects him.

My Top 10 Favourite Hitchcock Movies (10 movies items)

"An ordinary suburban family is going through a pretty boring phase, but their life becomes much more cheerful when Uncle Charlie arrives to visit. At first, his niece, Young Charlie, is ecstatic. But after a while, she begins to suspect that he may be a murderer on the run from the law. It starts out as disappointment and nervousness, and then it all leads to a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, where it looks like Uncle Charlie may just be trying to kill his own beloved niece. This is one of Hitchco"

" Notes: It was apparently Hitchcock’s favorite movies so I was expecting a lot from the damned thing. Well, to be honest, I was rather amazed by how little I actually cared about this movie. I mean, sure, it was still a decent thriller but I really couldn’t see what was supposed to be so amazing about this feature. Indeed, during the first half, nothing much really interesting happened and it took the damned thing forever to take off. Then, in the second half, it started to become slightly "
