A great love letter from hitchcock to London. Slow start, but by the end you’re on the edge of your seat. He still had it in his old age.

A fine return to form after a string of misses. Not his best but Hitchcock's experience and skill make this worth watching.
Marat

Very British in its style and content, reminds of Hitch's early films but with sex. Not as dazzling as his masterpieces, but has its moments

Alfred Hitchcock does it again with a well written beautifully acted and directed in his unique style.

Not one of Hitchcock’s pantheon films but it’s still a thrilling night at the movies. The violence and nudity may come as a bit of a shock.

Hitchcock thrillers are always a good choice! Great plot, even if it has unrealistic strangling scenes.
