Cary Grant was one of the most coolest guys to ever live. Classic.
An immensely influential film on the action genre, but is so rich in nuance that it hardly deserves to be called just an “action” film.
A very fun Hitchcock movie with all his usual stylings, and oodles of charisma from leading man Cary Grant. Bond before there was Bond
The closest that Hitchcock came to making an action movie. One fantastic chase sequence after another with vibrant colors.
One of Hitchcock’s best films and one of the few I can look over the “framed for a crime” cliché.
I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. But this is an amazing cat and mouse thriller regardless. Top notch.
Great suspense film. Just saw it for the first time, and I was literally on the edge of my seat in parts. (Reasonably corny in other parts.)
Hitchcock intrigue and full of double cross. Action/suspense with fantastic costumes, set, music & lighting. Some scenes look like art.
Great Action & Suspense. Cary Grant shines in this Hitchcock classic.
An Era defining classic. Cary Grant is iconic and may even charm away a beloved Bond girl.
