Agree with your review, but you left out one unique element of the movie, it's a single, continuous shot for the entire duration! Only once do you see a black screen for a single frame and that was strictly because Hitchcock ran out of film during that sequence! Apparently, it was done that way because Hitchcock wanted to retain the feeling of watching the original play that it was adapted from.
Such techniques are now quite common in movies like Birdman but back then, it was extremely rare & unique!

You are very right Neel Trivedi and I once wrote about the same at Facebook with the link of the shot too.

Alfred Hitchcock was best known for his suspense thrillers in world cinema. There are imitations of Hitchcock's suspense in Indian Cinema like in JEWEL THIEF, ITEFAQ & DHUND.
