I can see that Hitchcock was pressed for time and location. My rating is based upon my view of what Hitchcock's talents usually brought to a film. Also when you take your valuable time to view a film was it worth the price. This film misses the mark in so many places. McRae had some of the dumbest lines ever uttered in a movie and the plot had many holes in it, not the least is hard to write about and not give away the ending.
