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. Mar 27, 2009 | Full Review…

The film is a high-water mark of British production. It is first-class cinema, and all its main virtues are essentially cinematic virtues. Jun 2, 2015 | Full Review…
