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

The New York TimesBosley 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

The A.V. ClubNoel 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

TV Guide MagazineStaff (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

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]
