Mediocre Hitchcock

Rating: 7/10 (15 September 2000)

In my opinion, this lesser Hitchcock film isn't a great example of the master's work. It's fairly entertaining but mediocre; not up to "The 39 Steps" or "North by Northwest". Robert Cummings and Priscilla Lane don't have too much appeal, but the other actors are very good. The second half of the film is much better than the first one, which includes some pretty foolish scenes (the travelling circus).
