This kind of self-proclaimed fans pretending to be enthusiastic to talk about the goods that end up sticking to you like maggots is the most annoying. Hitchcock did his best to create such a disgusting character, which shows how dark the director is. That is, people who are as weak and kind as the male protagonist will fall for him. Whenever a person changes, the police will be called immediately. Don't talk to strangers lightly in the future. Provoking right and wrong for no reason. Notice: Be diligent at all times, not a traitor or a thief! Guy's ex-wife is also particularly cheap. I hate this J woman the most in my life. In the part of cheating money in the secret room of the unit, the yin and yang are erratic and erratic, and they are extremely despicable and indecent. This kind of bastard who bullies honest people should be cut to pieces. No wonder Guy said angry words on the phone to kill her with his own hands. So she was strangled to death in the amusement park, which was very pleasing. The audience thought it was finally fun, but then fell into a more heart-wrenching story setting, that is, how the male protagonist gets rid of suspicion and confronts maggots. The film is full of suspense, especially the cross-editing of the tennis match, which is especially good. 8 points.
