IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Criterion Collection)
A British couple on vacation unwittingly get involved with an assassination plot. Their young daughter is kidnapped and brought back to London. Unwilling to ask the police for help, they search for the girl themselves, eventually finding her holed up in a strange church being used by the group of terrorists. The wife foils the assassination plot, and the police follow the shooter to the church where a shootout ensues. The lone survivor heads to the rooftop with the hostage, in a typical Hitchcock ending. Peter Lorre goes all out as the leader of the criminals.
