It is not a particularly witty or clever script that John Michael Hayes has put together from a novel by Jack Trevor Story, nor does Mr. Hitchcock's direction make it spin. The pace is leisurely, almost sluggish, and the humor frequently is strained. But it does possess mild and mellow merriment all along the way.

Hitchcock is reluctant to follow the subversive premises of the story through to their outrageous logical conclusion; the dialogue's sexual innuendoes now seem coy and awkward; the male leads are wooden; the ending too complacent; and the discreet style stranded by that dreaded British restraint so dear to the director.

Funny and elegant, one of the best movie by Hitch, and not so known as It would deserve

In a wood a child discovers the body of a man. The discovery deeply upsets several people, each of whom thinks they are responsible for Harry's death.
A minor Hitchcock film that still means one thing: great film.
