Alfred Hitchcock’s movie about the serial killer investigation that keeps returning to the same suspect. Contrary to other Hitchcock movies it has completely different style of narration, which in some way was a bit of let-down. Overall it is quite enjoyable crime movie, but lacks the elements of mystery.
