I feel like Jane's meeting with the historian Laura is something people are missing. The purpose of this whole story is to present the thesis that women of the time were shunted by the capitalist system into becoming primary consumers rather than anything creative or useful on its own. Of course as Jane says, this view is exaggerated, but many American women of the time would agree more with Laura than with Jane.
That said, it has much more of a sci-fi bent than most Hitchcock stories. It's good to see Gladys Cooper as Laura the Historian. In that era she appeared in a few Hitchcocks and Twilight Zones. And Virginia Gregg as the 3rd Doctor, she can get a good mean look to her face. In the last half hour it comes back to reality, with a typical Hitchcock twist at the end.
