7/10
Pretty good Hitchock film! Solid 7 Stars!

This film is full of dynamics, which makes it very interesting. I didn't think the ending was considered much closure, but sometimes movies are like that, leaving things up to our own interpretation. It's a short movie and it held my attention until the very end. I saw it on Starz Encore, but it must have been remastered because it was in good quality for it's age and it was also in color considering they were still making movies in black & white during that time. The acting was darn great as well! The main actor, James Stewart did a superb job justifying the reason for homicide, even though I doubt any reason other than self-dense can make it seem right (to me anyway). You have to watch it at least once if you can. It's enjoyable for an hour and twenty minutes, but I'm glad it didn't go beyond that.
