Critics' reviews

"This 1950 thriller is minor only by the standards of genius"

Jake Wilson: The Age
"A fairly routine thriller (...) though with much more to enjoy than its detractors -- including Hitchcock -- make out"

Time Out
"Hitchcock conjures a deep-rooted, irony-rich complicity of father and daughter that seems borrowed from the films of Howard Hawks"

Richard Brody: The New Yorker
"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"

Dave Kehr: Chicago Tribune
"One is strongly suspicious, after watching this helter-skelter film, that Mr. Hitchcock was much less interested in his over-all story than in individual scenes."

Bosley Crowther: The New York Times
