34642, This may be Hithcock's best film to satisfy these qualifications.

The suspense doesn't play on physiologically complexities as much as a Vertigo might. It moves more than Rear Window. And it's in color, unlike Notorious or Psycho. It's got some action, some swagger, some intelligence, some romance, and a credits sequence and score to appeal to the high art crowd. The only strike I can see put against it is that it's too-slow to start early on, in the first 30 minutes or so. And for some reason I remember a recent post riding against it here. *goes to search*
