Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Cast: James Stewart, Doris Day, Brenda de Banzie, Bernard Miles

Dueling Critics

“One of Hitchcock’s most involving and tense films because the so-called Maguffin is a tangible person – a child of the protagonist. The adventure and stakes are taken to another level of intensity and intrigue, resulting in a thoroughly enjoyable Hitchcock masterpiece. Enjoy.”

– Alan Bacchus

“A rare lull in Hitchcock’s fine cannon. The plot never grabbed my attention and I was only excited by one scene. There are a couple of misplaced comic moments and the acting is average.”

– Tom Gooderson
