Although it is a commercial film, I think it was absolutely top-notch at the time.
Hitchcock really lives up to the name of a master. In terms of overall grasp, this film is many times better than some shoddy things today.
I often watch movies, there are many contemporary movies, watched for 10 minutes, I just want to change it. There is really nothing fascinating. The start is the same, and the next plot that can be guessed with your toes is frustrating. Nothing appealing.
But watching Hitchcock's movies is different. You have been constantly wondering what the next plot will be and what will happen that makes you want to stop. This is the standard.
