They adored this uncle.
They just adored him.

:33:08
Yet they had no idea what he is like.
:33:11
The whole suspense of the movie is,
When are they going to find out?"

:33:15
I think it's one of the most pertect
of the Hitchcock pictures.

:33:18
It doesn't depend on star power.
It doesn't depend on glamour.

:33:23
Hitch was right.
:33:25
It's a kind of extraordinary
and ambiguous character study

:33:29
that is very troubling,
:33:31
because you get into these characters,
:33:34
including the killer.
:33:36
(Boyle) I knew then that
we were embarked on a film

:33:39
that had real content
:33:41
and maybe more importance
than some of his others,

:33:44
which were kind of fairy tales,
you know.

:33:47
I believe that's one of the reasons
why Hitchcock himself

:33:50
considered it probably his best.
:33:53
(Cronyn)
He told a story very, very well,

:33:56
and he told it
almost always in visual images.

:34:00
Hitch pretty much had a film made...
:34:04
up here before he ever got on the set.
:34:07
In fact, he used to say work on the
set, the actual filming was so boring.

:34:12
It was the creative elements
and solving challenges

:34:16
that absolutely fascinated him.
:34:34
(Wright) I'm sure,
at the time we made this film,

:34:37
we all thought it was wondertul
and thought it was a great film.

:34:40
I don't think any of us had an idea
:34:43
it would have such an
impact on generations.

:34:47
Some films do
get to have a life of their own,

:34:50
and this one has lived a long, long life.
