Note: there is a small spoiler in here, so if you don't want to know anything at all about the movie, watch it before reading the comments.

This is one of my all-time favorite Hitchcock movies. It has a very unique story line, about a not-so-chance meeting and plans of murder. It is not, however, gory or extremely violent. [SPOILER] It does portray a murder, but it is not super awful or gruesome, as you might expect, and it is not shown directly, it is in a reflection. However, it is still murder, so I would not recommend letting a young child watch it. There is plenty of suspense, and quite a bit of action at the end. It is a bit creepy, but I think it is well worth it for the movie.
