Killing intent

If one day, the killing intent flashed by the impulse of anger, jealousy, and irritability suddenly becomes a "good opportunity" that can be realized, will you be lured by the devil, or will you fall into a nightmare of fear?
I really love the scenes and editing of the two people meeting and getting off the car at the beginning of the movie. The thriller always wins by the atmosphere and foreshadowing. Robert Walter, who is following the same step, raises his hands and throws evil spirits, and the plan of killing his father is far from making Farley Granger more attractive to play with his hands. Struggling in the whirlpool, being controlled or detached, the struggle between good and evil is far more compelling than the picture of murder.
The scene where Robert Watt and the judge’s wife play the game at the cocktail reception, the malice projected on Cathy Rogers’s sister, will be relived years later and still shudder, or Hitchcock will always be projected in our hearts in the flawed story. The perfect thriller.

    Just for kicking you under the table. Textbook-style use of film language. Crazy carousel. The story itself lacks suspense and tension. And the suggestive use of same-sex roles and affection in that era (in fact, the tennis player is actually bi).

    After killing people, he took the initiative to help the blind cross the road and burned the child's balloon with a cigarette. Because of these details, Bruro's character image became rich. The close-ups of the feet, the merry-go-round, and cross-cutting are all classics, but the plot is weaker.
