- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Secret Agent bursts with not-so-hidden sexual innuendos and a heavy dose of comic dialogue, as well as Lorre's unrestrained lunatic comic performance."
-
"One of the weirdest movies Alfred Hitchcock ever made."
-
"'Secret Agent' dallies much on the way but rates as good spy entertainment, suave story telling, and, in one particular case, brilliant characterization."
-
"John Gielgud might not be everyone's ideal Hitchcock hero, and contemporary critics were quick to point out his lack of derring-do, but, in fact, he acquits himself admirably in this engaging thriller."
-
"This thriller may not be one of Hitchcock's best English films, but it is full of startling set pieces and quirky characterisation."
