He talks a lot, plans ahead as to how his wife should be killed.<\/p>\n<p>Once his first attempt fails and ends up getting his killer killed. Detectives get involved and soon the case is not solved until the very end.<\/p>\n<p>Not that I did not like the film, but I found myself losing my attention span to the long dialogue, drawn out scenes. I have seen other Hitchcock films and like them a lot. This 2 hr film just was not my type of mystery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reviewed by Lauren Jackson.
