Alfred Hitchcock directed this suspenseful movie with a love
story carefully layered in. Robert Tisdall discovers a dead actress and is
accused of killing her. He must prove his innocence with the help of Erica, the
police chief’s daughter.
A coat belt was found to be the murder weapon of the
strangled woman. Tisdall was asked if he had a coat that could have had a belt
like it, and, being honest, he admitted he did. Two girls claimed that they
were the first to have found the dead woman when they saw him running away. He
is arrested, but he escapes. For the rest of the movie, the young couple tries
to gather the evidence Tisdall needs in order to clear his name.
The police chief’s daughter had a soft spot for the innocent
man because she helped him when he fainted. When he came to, she was a welcome
sight for him. The relationship developed over a short time, but their
interested-yet-hesitant regard for each other made them charming to watch.
