Critic Reviews

Mordaunt Hall

It is a lethargic affair with ingenuous fun. It has been nicely directed with a keen eye for the sunlight and shadows over the winding country roads, and the indoor scenes are always correct as to furnishings. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Hitchcock disliked the film, but it offers an unusual glimpse of the master before he settled into thrillers. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Hitchcock's handling of the comic material was praised by contemporary critics, and modern-day fans of his work will see many directorial flourishes that hint at the mastery he displays in later films. Read full review

Wesley Stenzel

It's technically competent but narratively sparse, with no humor or sense of urgency. Every scene feels as though it's 30 minutes long, which doesn't help its already lengthy runtime for a silent feature, with the latest restoration clocking in at almost two hours. Read full review
