Yet another review in which I’m going to refer to a “feature” on my site that I’ve not yet introduced – genres. I’m stumped as to what genre to place this movie in, but I settled on comedy rather than thriller because I laughed plenty more than I was gripped.

I was fairly bored for at least an hour of this movie, but Charles Laughton’s performance is simply amazing throughout, and it’s in the last half hour when he gets more sinister than ever and the plot really goes out there. Based on the last half hour, I’d rate this movie insanely highly, but there’s too much waiting early on and wondering what exactly the movie is about (which is, ultimately, nothing, classic Hitchcock).
