A really memorably "evil" villain.. A noble protagonist.. Haunting mystery that for moments takes us ahead to the "Portrait of Jennie".. Surreal moments that remain on the thinking mind for a very long time.. Black and White composition.. What more to ask of a film?
Only a racist or a dull would fail to appreciate such a masterpiece. Strongly recommended. Study material.
