Hitchcock is always worth a watch submitted by hathaway1066 on July 31, 2013, 2:48pm This is one to watch because of the director, and because of when it was made and how it connects with events at that time.

But if that doesn't sell you on it, hey, just 'cuz it's a Hitchcock, right?

Tallulah's maybe the best part. Or Bendix. Bendix: underrated. submitted by lisa on July 26, 2018, 4:07pm Nice theatrical feeling in the claustrophobic lifeboat.

No good deed goes unpunished submitted by tarascon on September 2, 2023, 2:03pm A fine film which would make an interesting doubleheader along with “Das Boot.”
