What I Liked: Teresa Wright was hot as a 24-year-old in 1943. I know that’s very deep analysis, but that’s all I’ve got.
What I Disliked: Hitchcock’s style is too boring for me. All I was thinking was get to the point. I know he’s famous for being the master of suspense but I didn’t see it. The acting was terrible, especially in the two young children. The dynamic between Charlie, played by Teresa Wright, and her Uncle Charlie, played by Joseph Cotton, was creepy in the first half of the movie. The way they looked at and touched each other sort of gave off an incestual tone.
Grade: 1 out of 5 (Poor)
Rationale: It’s bad when the only good thing I have to say is that the lead actress was good looking 70 years ago.
