When I saw this movie for the first time, I thought it was sort of odd, but also sort of boring. I was on a Hitchcock bender, and I had already seen the greats. I didn't think this was one of them at all.
I can't believe I didn't notice or know about the continuous shooting. (I rented the movie while in Brazil, and the box was printed in Portuguese, so I didn't read it). So I found out about the experimental technique and rented it again...and loved it.
It's very sinister and very homoerotic - not the commonplace for 1948 at all. It's fun to pick out where the edits come.
