Title: Not typical Hitchcock, but excellent anyway!
Review: I have heard a lot of people call this a "lesser" work of Hitchcock's, but if you didn't pay so much attention to who was directing it and just went with the story itself, it would be much more enjoyable. Instead of comparing it to "Rear Window" or "Vertigo", just enjoy it as it is: a great romantic comedy with some genuinely funny moments in it! The scene where Mr. Smith is in the restaurant trying to make his nose bleed is hilarious, and there are other parts that make it equally fun. If you want a great movie for an afternoon, this is it...if you want to compare it to Hitch's other works, then it's still good but not in his top ten. The direction is there, the characters are good, the situations are funny at times...what more do you need?
