Everything has already been said about this magnificent piece of movie making. And much better than I could ever attempt to do, but even so, I want to be part of the grateful audience that got so much aesthetic pleasure from watching this masterpiece of intrigue and suspense.
It seems almost incredible the way tension gathers scene after scene, to a point where one feels intolerable to continue viewing this film because one stopped breathing and is rapidly asphyxiating due to the tightening of the whole body almost slipping down the edge of the seat on the fringes of a nervous breakdown!! As other reviewers pointed out, all actors were astoundingly good, the black and white photography, impeccable, the editing superb and let's say that all the personnel involved in the making of this movie created sheer magic by dedicating all their knowledge and artistic flair to a jewel that by now is a legendary example of superb movie making.
