...a tenuously engaging thriller that could've used a few more passes through the editing bay...
March 27, 2009
A great film, and certainly one of the most entertaining movies ever made, directed by Alfred Hitchcock at his peak.
March 26, 2009
At times it seems Hitchcock is kidding his own penchant for the bizarre, but this sardonic attitude is so deftly handled it only enhances the thrills.
June 19, 2009
Hitchcock breezes through a tongue-in-cheek, nightmarish plot with a lightness of touch that's equalled by a charming performance from Grant.

All in all, an improbable classic.

Witty Hitchcock thriller. Not for little ones.

ideal introduction to the Master and all his basic fears and craftsmanship
June 27, 2011
It has all the classic elements of a Hitchcock film - well timed suspense, an overall mystery, a compelling cast and some brilliantly conceived scenes.
May 16, 2012
The iconic actors give memorable performances, the story is perfectly pitched and fiercely clever and under the astounding directorial eye of Alfred Hitchcock - American Cinematic God - it's nearly flawless.

The picture is hugely pleased with itself, but it's too funny and expertly calibrated to mind in the least.

Smoothly troweled and thoroughly entertaining.
