Great actors doing great acting, great period-correct wardrobe, great period-correct cars. Every detail perfect. Sadly, that is just not enough to make a movie.
There is no "punch" to this flick. You keep waiting for a surprise, any surprise. But no. Nada. Zilch. The story is so predictable it is as though they use "Microsoft Script Wizard" to write it for them.
Also: Pierce Brosnan is miscast in this picture. It's not his fault, but he just doesn't belong here. Doesn't fit, isn't believable. Plus: his haircut is contemporary, not 1949. Nice duds though. Wardrobe did a great job all through this movie.
Do yourself a favor: skip this movie.
Rent any old DVD of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" instead.
