A great classic

Since I'm a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock, I really had to watch this flick at some point. Eventually, I wasn't disappointed, that's for sure. Basically, it turned out to be one of his best and I absolutely loved the damned thing ('Vertigo' still remains my all-time favorite though). It was basically one of those typical Hitchcock thrillers during which an ordinary guy gets involved in some kind of conspiracy with some rather extraordinary circumstances. Nowadays, we live in an age where our heros are either some tough guys with no wit or sense of humor or some super-heros with super powers and, as a result, are pretty much invincible but I think that Hitchcock’s approach was so much more interesting because you could really identify with this poor fellow who tried to get through this ordeal in one piece. I mean, of course, Cary Grant was really charismatic, witty and clever but he was definitely not a spy and he constantly had to use his brain to get out of trouble. So, the acting was really good, the directing was just awesome and the whole thing was just completely entertaining from the beginning until the end. To conclude, it is a great classic, I loved it and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Hitchcock's work.
