I was 19 or 20 when I saw it....e.g. the potato scene in the truck (as mentioned above) is priceless.
This film always seemed to suffer from a slight "out of dateness" - it surely would have had more resonance for the hero had it been set in the 50s. And it also seemed slightly miscast in some roles to me.
But I truly enjoy several of the set pieces - including the poor inspector's mounting desire for a plain cooked meal - and especially Barry Foster's performance as the villain. I miss him. It is a somewhat nasty little movie in spots, but you can tell it was made by a master.
And as you say, even not quite top flight Hitchcolc is still better than 90% of anything out there nowdays.
