It's a fine movie- and better- more lively- than the later remake with Jimmy Stewart. I love it when Edna Best grabs the copper's gun and shoots the villain off the roof.

Like you, I'm never sure quite how I feel about Hitch. I admire him enormously but I don't quite love him. There's something about him that's slightly repellent. Maybe it's that he's so manipulative.

You should probably add Psycho to your list of must sees. I'd also recommend his last film- the under-rated, in fact almost forgotten, Family Plot. It's small and cheeky- and sweet as a nut.
