The Hollywood Reporter

Hitchcock is such a master of suspense that not many frames have passed before the audience has achieved complete identification with the characters and is knowing the thrill of vicarious fear and the shared pleasures of love and passion.

The New Yorker

"...Hitchcock demonstrates himself to be a master parodist, for the picture...first flawlessly reproduces all of his celebrated mannerisms, and then methodically puffs them all out of shape..."

Reviews From My Couch

Comedy is the genre that most struggles in mass-appeal lists because individual senses of humor vary so much.

Rotten Tomatoes

An effortless two hours and sixteen minutes of classic set-pieces, unlikely traps and amusingly off-the-cuff escapes, all starring the handsomest tan ever to step onto a film set.
