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.

Full of suspense, hijinks and that particular brand of gallows humour that can only be described as 'Hitchcockian'.

This is a suberbly structured thriller whose excellence is aided and abetted by a spirited cast.

[The film] never fails to intrigue you with its great characters and storytelling.

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