Critic Reviews
The Paradine Case is more than just a big and elegant whodunit. It has smart, penetrating, clever characterization and Mr. Hitchcock has used his unexcelled craftsmanship to show the interplay of motive and mood, the power and weakness of love, the courage and cowardice of mankind. [15 May 1948, p.12]
A Selznick-produced Hitchcock: a courtroom melodrama of murder and romantic degradation for which Hitch wanted Laurence Olivier, Greta Garbo and Robert Newton, but had to settle for Gregory Peck, Alida Valli and Louis Jourdan. [26 Nov 1999, p.A]
Talky and stiff, the film never finds the passionate tone that it needs.
