世界电影大师阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克自导的悬念故事集，每个小故事都或多或少包含了恐怖，悬疑，超自然等元素，每集开始都是由导演本人拉开序幕，等到故事完毕，又由导演本人闭幕总结。记得小时候曾经在电视里看过，每个故事都很精彩，看完之后令人拍案叫绝。

The boyfriend tries to tag along, but she manages to abandon him at the side of the road. Before the night is over, she'll wish desperately she had just gone home.

　　由著名悬疑惊悚大师阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克于1941年执导的悬疑影片《深闺疑云》，荣获1942年第14届奥斯卡金像奖最佳女主角奖及最佳影片提名和最佳配乐提名。

　　希区柯克又一部根据舞台剧改编的作品，编剧是大才子诺尔·考沃德，为了抢时间，在《下坡路》还没杀青的时候，希区柯克就带着剧组去法国出外景了。影片讲述了丈夫发现女主角被画家求爱而提出离婚，她又经历了一段新的婚姻但还是以离婚收场。片中有一个希区柯克相当得意的段落，男主角向女主角求婚的段落从头至尾都是通过一个接线员来展示的。另外，希区柯克在片中是否客串也成为影史谜团之一，有兴趣的朋友可以注意网球场这个段落，看看是否真是希胖现身。
