A rather odd Hitchcock film, not one of my favourites.
The film starts with two characters meeting on a train, where it seems fairly obvious to us that one of the people in the conversation really is rather odd, but it’s not obvious yet if he’s being serious with what he’s discussing.
The discussion is about the perfect murder, and how it could be achieved if two totally separate people did each others murders, as that would mean that if they were caught, there would be no motive, and therefore, they wouldn’t get caught.
The film then carries on, and you assume that that is the last of the conversation – obviously, it is not (hence the title of this film)!
I thought the story really was very odd, and not as clear as many other Hitchcock movies. I also thought the acting was pretty poor in many parts, it just didn’t feel right.
I give it 6/10
