Mystery plot is very basic by modern standards. Some beautiful shots and good directing. Pretty women. A lead actor who is a handsome sexy mix between a smooth criminal and a block of wood. It ticks the boxes. Despite being a movie about crime, it doesn't have anywhere near the sense of danger that movies like Psycho and Vertigo had.
I'm settled somewhere between a 7 and an 8, a little closer toward 7.

it's my favourite hitchcock film. but I'm not a big fan of horror, films like Vertigo and Psycho aren't my cup of tea.

That's a good way to put it. If I didn't know otherwise I don't think I would have guessed Hitchcock was the director.

Can't argue with too much there. I do agree that it doesn't have quite the sense of danger as other Hitchcock films do, but I took this more as an adventure rather than a thriller.
So many stories, so little time.
