- Creaky Hitchcock thriller in which you can see all the joins and the stars seem stuck in treacle; but a few of the set-pieces work well enough.

  Stage Fright
  
  Not one of Hitchcock's best by any means, but it is worth watching, if only for Alastair Sim, who is always worth watching, lovely actor.

  Great afternoon film
  
  This is not one of Hitchcock's greatest films, but it is very watchable. Worth watching to see Alistair Sim, who is always great.
