WE NEED A 5☆ SYSTEM! Anyway I was sure this was a good solid 3☆, then the last 20 mins happened. 4☆ on this lame system. I'd give 4 1/2 of 5

Good early Hitchcock with tropes and themes that would continue in his later work

An incredible thriller, fantastically crafted and performed. Espionage, romance, and of course suspense as expected from the master Hitch.

Not anywhere near Hitchcock’s best, but not awful. It’s just too, reliably decent, if that makes sense. There’s no surprises in any way,

Really great film starring handsome McCrea as a resourceful, physical reporter - overlooked early Hitchcock

Moments of brilliance from Hitchcock but still not formed. Good special effects at the end however.
