In contrast to today's suspense/mystery-type movies, this one moves incredibly slowly. Very obvious shots are lingered upon until even the dimmest movie viewer gets the point. Still, it is a Hitchcock film, and though I had seen it before, I still was tense/frightened at the end.
Bechdel score. Two women: nope. Unless you count Kim Novak as two women. :-)

I too found this movie to be a bit slow. But it is true, that the speed of most all movies has increased. Ever watched "Wait Until Dark".
ReplyDeleteAdd to the fact that we were on some crazy restaurant's back porch instead of a McMiniman Brothers' styled place. That is not really a complete sentence and I don't care. It was a fun experience! -S
