How about that scene with the milk?, 27 July 1999
8/10
Author: jonnycar

Grant taking the milk up to his wife was definitely the vision I remember from this film. The lighting is absolutely brilliant. I think a lot of Hitchcock's success came from making ordinary experiences terrifying. Just like taking a shower in Psycho or riding a bus in Sabotage, a simple act like drinking a glass of milk is made to seem shocking. And unlike current films that rely on mysterious masked villains, Hitch often used seemingly normal (or slightly maladjusted) people to carry out the terror.
