George Sanders' reliable brother older, Tom Conway. I mostly think of Kim Hunter in Michael Powell's "A Matter of Life and Death." There's a complete, watchable copy on YouTube.
It's strange that Hitchcock made a movie about a peeping Tom who murdered, and it further enhanced his reputation. Powell made a movie that same year about a murdering Peeping Tom, even giving it that title, and it ruined his reputation.
Anyone with a cable subscription that includes Turner Classic Movies can access Watch TCM. Besides offering two live streams, most of the movies are available for a while after airing, in a web browser or with the app. I have Fios TV, which offers TCM in SD, but the online service is in HD.
Available on demand from Spectrum/Time Warner Cable, just search for "The 7th Victim" - I assume I'm not paying extra for TCM, who knows. What a treat this was for a Saturday night! Loved the use of shadows. As someone who's used to seeing Hitchcock influences on other filmmakers, it was really neat to see it go the other way in the shower scene. Another great find from Ty Burr, never would've heard of this film otherwise!
