This is a good Hitchcock film from the 1940s. My objection is to the "Two-Disc Special Edition" designation. It implies that the "Preview Version" differs substantially from the "Final Release Version." In fact, there is virtually no difference at all between the versions, just extra cost.

My wife and I watched this movie and it was just ok. Parts of it were kind of creepy. The book is SO much better!! But for the most part it was entertaining, and after all, it is a good old fashioned black and white movie!

A story that has been repeated in other forms, but never as well as it is here. A psychotic rich guy concocts a plan to do away with his father which involves an innocent man. Quite delicious.

HITCHCOCK USES THE CONFINES OF THE RESTAURANT CAR ON AN ELEGANT AMERICAN PASSENGER TRAIN, TYPICAL OF THE 1940'S, FOR TWO STRANGERS TO MEET ONE ANOTHER BY ACCIDENTALLY (THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN QUESTIONED) BUMPING FEET UNDER A DINING TABLE ON THE TRAIN. MANY FILM HISTORIANS CONSIDER THIS FILM ONE OF HIS BEST, OVER HIS LONG AND VARIED CAREER. ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S FAVORITE FILM, ACCORDING TO HIS DAUGHTER PAT IS "SHADOW OF A DOUBT", BUT I DO NOT THINK THIS ONE, OR "LIFEBOAT" WOULD BE FAR BEHIND. HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH ANY HITCHCOCK FILM, ESPECIALLY THESE FILM NOIR CLASSICS FROM THE 1940'S! DON'T MISS THIS ONE, OR ANY ONE OF HIS OTHER MASTERPIECES. IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO LOOK FOR THE SCENE IN EACH OF THE FILMS HE DIRECTED, WHERE HE MAKES HIS USUAL APPEARANCE. LIFEBOAT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST CHALLENGING IN THIS REGARD!Read full review
