The film is the blueprint for most of hitchcocks career but its script lacks character work.
The performances are good and i think hitchcock's direction is decent but im not invested in anyone at all.Watch my films

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A crisp, suspenseful cat-and-mouse game where ordinary people are caught between criminals and conscience, forced to act fast when their daughter's life hangs in the balance. Hitchcock moves with efficient momentum through a European conspiracy, balancing genuine peril with clever twists.
