Plot
A husband plans the murder of his wife.
Sinekatalog’s take
Hitchcock's stage-based thriller turns a husband's perfect murder plan into a slow unravelling. Compact and clever, with Grace Kelly and Ray Milland, it is mainly a game of clues and nerves.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
