Hitchcock with His usual dark humour brings us the tale of two young men and their desire to perform the perfect murder. The movie starts with the crime being committed and the body being hidden in a trunk. This trunk will be for the rest of the movie in the centre of attentions. The two men, in order to prove their superior intellect, invite the dead man’s family and friends for a party. The entire movie is set on only one room (the same one where the body lies). The over ambitious party becomes suspicious and the crime is discovered and the two men caught. Ambition and personal pride killed the bandit!
This movie is cut in a way to lead the audience to think that the movie was shot in one continuous take. The camera movements are a perfect example of Hitchcock’s genius.
Murder can be an art!
Rating: 7/10
