Reviews
"The lure of death, the power of the past, the guilty complicity of a clean-cut hero, the near-fetishistic use of symbol and color: these Hitchcock hallmarks are all mesmerizingly on view."
Janet Maslin, New York Times
"Combines in an almost unique balance Hitchcock's brash flair for psychological shocks with his elegant genius for dapper stylishness."
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"One of the landmarks -- not merely of the movies, but of 20th-century art."
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
