What It's About:

Richard Blaney (Finch) is a young man suspected of being London's "neck-tie murderer" after his estranged wife falls victim to the killer. Unbeknownst to Blaney, the real murderer is right under his nose, and has ingeniously implicated him in a string of crimes.

Why I Love It:

Hitchcock's last great film - and one of his most gruesomely comic. Thirty years after leaving England, Hitchcock ventured back to make this distinctively British film, creating a virtuoso tale of suspense. Like many preceding Hitchcock heroes, Foster is solid as Blaney, the innocent man everyone thinks is guilty, but it's Barry Foster as the smarmy true culprit, and McCowen as an unassuming Scotland Yard inspector, who remain locked in your memory.
