And the interior shots are striking. Otherwise, I found the film affected and cheesey. So did my wife.

You can't evaluate it outside its time period.
- Beautifully old-fashioned, featuring a level of artifice some will find disagreeable... - genungo 09:33:14 10/20/15 (2)
  Comparable to going to the opera.
  - But even in the "obsessed detective" genre. . . - Chris from Lafayette 12:44:21 10/20/15 (1)
    . . . it can't hold a candle to a masterpiece like Vertigo.

      Hitchcock's "obsessed detective" movie (and his movies in general) tends to focus on the hard elemental, rather than the diffuse emotional, aspects of society or human nature. Both movies have many good things going for them, even though one movie features a "cool" aesthetic while the other features a "warm" one.
      I prefer Hitchcock's style of cinematography and sense of "romance" most of the time, but that's just me.
      In the art of painting I am reminded of "Poussin vs. Rubens", or possibly "Caravaggio vs. Correggio". And maybe even "Ingres vs. Delacroix".
      Loads of fun, either way...
