    GENIUS! The ending just goes to show what can happen with knowledge, faith, time and patience. WOW! Alfred Hitchcock never ceases to amaze me! Goes to show his incredible and creative mind! How did he come up with this stuff!?!? LOVE IT!

      He made a deal with a crossroads demon or something his work is always so unique and compelling. It is now just as much as it was then and will be in the future.

      Ha ha He must have hid the money in offshore accounts somehow, possibly using other people and their names . He couldn’t just stroll into any local or U.S. banks and deposit the money in his own name, because they would have found it.

    SPOILER. This is a movie of course with a scenario but it doesnt look very real. The old guy who plays the cool and the clever during the whole movie was no more than a thieve. No one would ever accept that much money by one employe just like that. In order to accept money they ask for a whole lot of info and papers etc. He should absolutely explain where the money comes from even if he made this deal with the Mafia. I went to exchange one little silver item and they asked me more than 30 questions on every aspect of my life. Even what color of undeware I have on.... This itinerary of the stolen money would be found 2 days after he got in jail. But as I said.... its just a movie.
