The keynote (pardon the pun) of this story is set at the start of the film, as Fonda fingers the final chords on his cello at the holiday nightclub performance. Those taut ballons that cram the nightclub ceiling are like the bubbles that are about to burst in Henry's head.., I mean, Henry's life! Later on at home, when a mirror cracks so does his wife. And I love Hitchcock's use of those dark shadows that always seem to always hover down over the characters. Speaking of which, keep an eye on the photography - it's some of the most effective that you'll ever see in a Hitchcock film, and that is really saying something. Perhaps the consummate mastery of Hitchcock's production here is the very thing that will drive some of us away from this film. It truly is a dark chronicle of bad luck and exasperation, with only a tiny glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. Cheers!
