KNIFE! blablabla...KNIFE! blablabla...KNIFE!!!


This was clearly the highlight of the film for me. Funny, clever and eerie at the same time. Genius!

her face in this scene was so funny. Did anybody else notice that after she stabed him she had no blood on the knife or herself?

reply

Yes, there was blood on the knife after the stabbing. Look closer.

I echo your sentiments. I imagine that being this first talkie in Britain, this was shockingly creative for all viewers. In fact, it may have even stirred a let down for films coming after (from all directors and not really Hitchcock) because they would expect something new and unique. Heh.

Hitchcock really was a genius from day one.

... Gadz, the woman that kept babbling about the knife was annoying..... and when she screeched KNIFE, too bad they didnt use the knife on HER...

I remember this scene from my childhood, decades ago. I never knew the name of the movie until today. Now I must watch it again!

reply

Yeah, it was my favourite part of the movie, It actually redeemed it for me.

I also loved how the clown painting showed up at the end when both men were laughing.
