In general I am no fan of Hitchcock. I find his films generally tedious.
But this film, with the complex psychological aspects, highly skilled acting and direction is a riveting and truly satisfyingly viewing experience. Sean Connery was perfectly cast and directed, and this is certainly his best performance.
When people like Cassavetes and Bertolucci, who could no be further from Hitchcock in their methods, noted it is one of their favorite films, you know it is good.
