This is an underappreciated early gem from Hitchcock. It features the right blend of light comedy and mystery to remain interesting and thrilling until the unsuspecting conclusion. |

It had few unbelievable scenes such as a stranger coming inside another girl’s room who she doesn’t know, which is not even locked.
