Critic Reviews

Bosley Crowther

Even in mammoth VistaVision, the old Hitchcock thriller-stuff has punch. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

This replaces the British version's tight, economic plotting and quirky social observations with altogether glossier production values and a typically '50s examination of the family under melodramatic stress. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

Hitchcock's glossier and more complex remake of his classic 1934 spy thriller, with James Stewart and Doris Day as the average American couple caught in a whirlwind of intrigue and terror. [26 Nov 1999, p.A]
