I've been coveting Hitchcock's movies for a long time, and finally found a chance to watch it! It begins with the familiar Warner Bros.:
We knew from the beginning that it was the male protagonist who instigated the murder, and that the murderer was one of his college alumni with a criminal record. The male protagonist spent half an hour meticulously planning a murder case - killing his cheating wife, so thoughtful that I only understood his plan after reading this passage twice...
How harmonious the scene is when the male protagonist, the wife and the wife's cheating writer stay together. At this point they discuss the perfect murder, and the writer says:
This is simply a prophecy, indicating that the plan will never keep up with the changes. The male protagonist's murder operation failed, and the stupid college alumnus was stabbed to death by the female protagonist with a pair of scissors...
Then he was very calm when he collapsed, and quickly thought about the next countermeasures, and when the heroine went to take medicine, he quickly took out the key from the alumni's pocket and put it in the heroine's bag. Ah, here are the alumni's own keys! Later police detectives took advantage of this and set up a bureau for the male protagonist to get caught, and finally the truth came out. (I have to admire the writer, the speculation is exactly the same as what the male protagonist thought at the beginning)
Even though the killer was caught, I wasn't happy at all. A pair of cheating men and women returned him alive without any retribution, and even the original partner was put in prison (or hanged), and he was able to do it more openly! ! anger?
