  1. The reason he killed her is easy. He was obsessed with the most roundabout way possible to carry out such a deed. Certainly he was smart enough to think a more direct manner but if he did that what would Hitch do with it? A concerted attempt of not trying to understand the movie is imperative for the enjoyment.

    Anne was enticing, but the woman bartender (don’t know her character name or credit name) really stood out to me.  She was a scene stealer.  She had that sad empathy thing going on.  The music never got bogged down, always seemed fresh and varied, added a pep to things.  I liked the black break between scenes, that worked, along with the moving to a new scene abruptly without the black.  I also liked a lot of the cinematography, especially those ‘from above’  angles.  On the left drinks undrunk subject, nothing egregious there.  If everybody in the room is smoking cigarettes it detracts from the aesthetic of the smoking act.  In other words there was too much smoking and not enough individual smoking style.  The safecracker smoked a cigar, which was cool.  I doubt I’m going to forget that bedroom scene with Anne in that . . . what do you call that ( with the black undies, and garters? ) any time soon.  That was killer.

    Do you mean Yvonne? I liked her too but I didn't think anyone else would, particularly. The lady that offered Bob money in return for an old favor, yes? I like the plot. Often heist films get sort of procedural in a sense, the planning and execution and the little twist at the end.. This one had plot twists before that, the on-the-fly femme fatale and the elevator operator, as well as the favor owed to the police chief by the guy who got the item from the young thing who was squealed to by Paolo. I loved the visuals, great pictures of the city. I had in mind that Bob would escape scot-free since he has such a good alibi, inside the Casino winning a fortune. The police knew about him but that was just hearsay, yes? Maybe I am missing something and therefore couldn't have happened that way.
