"This picture quickly became one of Alfred Hitchcock's most successful thrillers and remains one of his most popular films. En route from Washington, D.C., champion tennis player Guy Haines meets pushy playboy Bruno Anthony. What begins as a chance encounter turns into a series of morbid confrontations, as Bruno manipulates his way into Guy's life. Bruno is eager to kill his father and knows Guy wants to marry a senator's daughter but cannot get a divorce from his wife. So Bruno suggests the men "swap murders," which would leave no traceable clues or possible motives. Though Guy refuses, Bruno fulfills his part of the bargain and proceeds to blackmail Guy into his." This is the reviw on the back of the video.
Now for my review. This is my favorite Hitchcock movie. The story is so bizarre and so ingenius that it has been preplicated literally hundreds of times in comedy skit, thriller movies, and dramas. The plot is so tight but so intriguing and its action packed right from the first scene. An absolutely delectable film!
