in a way the uniformly terrible dialogue makes it sort of twee, but it's obvious that hitchcock can't write funny jokes. or romances. the quirky grave digging plot is the best thing about this, but given that no-one would shut their traps this is mostly a failure.

Just really, really unfunny, it doesn't have one single joke that makes you laugh out loud, not one. I chuckled, maybe, two times.

It's a visually beautiful, but that's about it.

Shirley MacLaine and the beautiful cinematography are the only reasons to sit through this. It's all stiff acting and unfunny jokes otherwise.

I actually enjoy this film a lot. It's not among Hitchcock's finest, but it works well enough, there's some good black humor especially for a code film. Plus it was shot in Morrisville, Vermont, so maybe I'm just a little biased.
