Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Although the film is fast and consistently clever, it is more deeply flawed than any other Hitchcock film of the period, failing to find a thematic connection between its imaginative set pieces.

An unusually fine dramatic story handled excellently from a production standpoint.

Directed with a fascinating staccato violence by Alfred Hitchcock, it is the swiftest screen melodrama this column can recall.

Vintage Hitchcock, with sheer wit and verve masking an implausible plot.
