All the same, Hitchcock's lustrous American debut, the film David O. Selznick tempted him across the Atlantic to do, is a pleasure no sane person refuses. And Criterion's package is particularly rich with extras.

...Imam riding past on horseback, and when the fighting stopped, such myths found their way into popular culture. Ahmadinejad fought in this war, and absorbed its sensibilities.
