Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Wyman is delightful as embryo actress but the choice femme spot goes to Dietrich.
Fresh: Hitchcock conjures a deep-rooted, irony-rich complicity of father and daughter that seems borrowed from the films of Howard Hawks and suggests the inner compass that helps to guard against chasing the wrong man.
Fresh: The issues aren't satisfactorily resolved, but Hitchcock seems to be exploring the ways in which various falsehoods -- the falsehoods of acting, storytelling, and art in general -- can lead to the truth
Fresh: A fairly routine thriller, noted chiefly for its cheating flashback, though with much more to enjoy than its detractors -- including Hitchcock -- make out.
Customer Reviews
Intense and thrilling, innocence thrown into a web of deceit.
This is a very chilling film! I highly reccomend it! It carries all of the poise, and susspence that one could ask for in a hitchcock film, and does not fail to deliver payoffs for waiting through all of the chilling moments! Begins with a bang and grows even stronger until the last curtain falls.
GREAT MOVIE
EVEN THOE IM A HUGE DIETRICH FAN! I ABSOULTELY LOVE THIS MOVIE! EVERY THING JUST FALS INTO PLACE! ALL THE ACTORS ARE AMAZING! EVEN THOE HITCHCOCK SAYS HE THOUGHT OF STAGE FRIGHT AS 1 OF HIS LESSER FAVORITE OF HIS FILMS BECAUSE OF REASONS BEING...I CANT SAY WHAT THEY ARE BECAUSE I WOULD GIVE AWAY THE MOVIE! THE ENDING WILL SURPRISE U BIG TIME! WATCH IT! U WILL LOVE IT!
