I caught this one on Encore while staying home from school, and I was surprised at the many twists and Hitchcock-like additions. It was really entertaining.
Doris Day plays the role of Kit, an American woman living in London with her businessman husband Tony. Almost immediately, we are introduced to the story of someone threatening her continuously, first in a fog-shrouded park, then over the phone, countless times. It gets progressively worse and worse, and Tony and her Aunt Bea, who has come to stay for a few weeks, begin to suspect the credibility in it all.
This is a great movie. Fans of Hitchcock may be impressed. And the acting is great. Doris Day is thoroughly convincing, especially when she begins to go hysterical at it all after Bea picks up the phone on the mysterious caller. But thoroughout the film, she plays a strong character. Bea is also a great character, and very amusing. Overall, the film does very well. The ending has many twists you don't think to suspect, though, I would have expected more with the scenes on the scaffolding. Oh well. Still, I recommend this film to all Hitchcock fans and anyone who likes older suspense movies. This one is great.
