Apie šį filmą

James Stewart, Farley Granger and John Dall star in this macabre spellbinder, which was inspired by a real-life case of murder. Two thrill-seeking friends (Granger and Dall) strangle a classmate and then hold a party for their victim's family and friends, serving refreshments on a buffet table fashioned from a trunk containing the lifeless body. When dinner conversation revolves around talk of the 'perfect murder', their former teacher (Stewart) becomes increasingly suspicious that his students have turned his intellectual theories into brutal reality.

One of Hitchcock's best(or anybody else's for that matter) that nobody talks about. No blonde bombshell in this one but a fabulous must see masterpiece.

Hitchcock staged this as if the entire film were a single continuous take, and the result is mesmerizing. The movie's infused with an immediacy, presence and dramatic momentum that's usually only found in live performances. Jimmy Stewart brings it to a crescendo with a wonderfully intense performance.

I love Hitchcock & J Stewart so no surprise that I think this movie is pretty outstanding
