What Works?
- An Alfred Hitchcock film, it seems, never fails to impress with the suspense it promises to deliver.
- Paul Newman faithfully follows the Hitchcock hero grace earlier shown by the likes of Cary Grant & Stewart.
- The iron-will of his girl aide Sarah is another winner; The beautiful Julie Andrews is adorable.
- Characters such as Lindt, Kromer & the Polish lady stay in memory for long.
Super Suspense!
