Critic Reviews

Empire David Parkinson

Enjoyable Hitchcock spoof with much chemistry between the leads and some cracking one-liners. Read full review

Bosley Crowther

Bob is the hub of the picture, and Director Sidney Lanfield has kept the confusion spinning around him. That is entirely gratifying, for, in these times, we can't have too much Hope. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Hope is wonderful, with something smart to say no matter what the situation. His smug behavior is very funny (far and away superior to anything he ever did in the television work that made him rich) and the pacing is as good as it usually is in these Hope comedies. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

One of the better Bob Hope vehicles. Read full review

Noel Murray

Hard-to-follow action and a silly, inconsistent tone work against the film, but Hope's reluctant can-do attitude and wry comments keep the energy level up. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Philip French

The blonde in this funny, lively Bob Hope thriller is one of Hitchcock's favourite blondes, Madeleine Carroll. The picture evokes her most famous Hitchcock film, The 39 Steps, and uncannily anticipates North by Northwest. [12 Dec 2004, p.95]

Staff (Not Credited)

A progressively funny film. Read full review
