Number Seventeen (Alfred Hitchcock Deep Dive #15)

Ya don't have to do nothin' in this 'ere house - ya stand still and things happen!

Cutting to the chase here: this miiight be Hitchcock's first truly terrible film. It's a bit baffling how clumsy it is given how many films he's made before this, several of them decent, and perhaps one or two of them even good. But this one...it's so convoluted, so full of cliche, non sequitur, reveal, and reverse uno after reverse uno that it ends up completely nonsensical. This week, we dive into Hitchcock's (first?) tire fire of a film?
