This movie is actually very funny despite it being both a Hitchcock film and a thriller. Joseph Cotton embodies evil in a way that reminds me of Reverend Harry Powell (from NIGHT OF THE HUNTER). I wish he wasn’t so overtly evil. If Hitchcock played it in the gray area a bit more, I’d really have been more invested.I loved Edna May Wonacott as the little sister. She is so smart and funny, I wish she did more movies and took up a career in acting.
