Reviews

Hitchcock breezes through a tongue-in-cheek, nightmarish plot with a lightness of touch that's equalled by a charming performance from Grant.

Dave Calhoun, Time Out

A great film, and certainly one of the most entertaining movies ever made, directed by Alfred Hitchcock at his peak.

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
