This is a strange movie,not really convincing because Hitchcock did all that before,and infinitely better:The over-possessive mother ,her son 's final scene which recalls some "psycho"-in -reverse.The settings are sometimes intriguing,particularly the house full of dolls.The historical allusions are far-fetched and Alfred Hitchcock ...(well see "notorious"). If you haven't seen it,you do not miss an awful lot.
