    My All Time Favourite Hitchcock Film

    What an absolute stormer of a thriller. From start to finnish I was hooked on this film. I remember seeing this as a young man and being spellbound by the actors brilliant portrayal of the characters. Ray Milland is the real star of this murder mystery. The thought put into the murder actaully makes you want him to get away with it. Grace Kelly plays a woman trapped in a web of her husbands lies extremely well (why anyone married to Grace Kelly would want to have her killed is beyond me). This was originally a 3D movie (as the extras will tell you) but transfers so well.

    If you like you murder mysteries (Poirot, Ms Marple, Midsommer Murder, Jonathan Creek etc) you will adore this film.
