- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The picture has a very, very excellent begining, a mediocre middle and a most deplorable ending. A minor fault is that its running time is about fifteen minutes too long."
-
"Not a great film, but a remarkable one, with Hitchcock at his most 'innovative.'"
-
"Sawhney's score brings contemporary melodies to Hitch's silent delight."
