What
our panel of critics thought |
||
|
"Grace Kelly is perfect, although why did they blur her close ups so?" "All that tension and then the dog gets killed just after they close the drapes for the one and only time in the whole movie. Bad luck guys.""Rarely has a small yappy type dog been murdered so violently in a Hollywood movie.""If you look closely, the dead dog is actually a small piece of carpet cut out in the shape of a small yappy type dog with a cherry for its nose, otherwise the movie was sensational.""I knew he dunit all along.""Not a whodunnit, but rather a howdedoit? or perhaps a willhegedawaywidit? Brilliant!" |

comments |
||
| The
dialogue is sensational and the movie is gripping.
Apparently the set was one of the most expensive and complicated of its time in Hollywood history. |
