| Description | This 1944 Hitchcock always is on the high ranked list, but I found it somewhat flat. Like a lot of 40's noir, it depends upon the psychology of everyone involved to be brittle or insane. It is hard to suspect disbelief. It is a treat to watch a young Vincent Price play a boy toy that lacks his normal evil suaveness. It is jarring to hear that smooth baritone and not have it end in a cackle. But the rest of movie lacks suspense and characters that you care about. Laura's fickle man hoping makes it hard to empathize or care if one of them is out to get her. Everyone seems to be using everyone for some sort of angle. |
