How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wrongly accused man flees across Scotland in a cat-and-mouse chase, handcuffed to a mysterious woman, mixing genuine suspense with dry wit and romantic sparring. Hitchcock's prototype for the wronged-man thriller proves nimble and delightful, thrilling without losing its sense of humor.
