A professional tennis player’s life is turned upside down when a chance meeting with a sociopathic socialite, and a casual conversation about the perfect murder, leads to the homicide of his estranged wife, leaving him as the only real suspect, in Hitchcock’s expertly shot, flamboyantly acted, and thoroughly entertaining if vaguely incredible thriller.
