A great thriller of mistaken identity. Hitchcock was a master storyteller.
Masterfully crafted. Brilliantly directed. Excellently shot. Wonderfully edited. It should be a must watch from Hitchcock's portfolio.
Classic Hitchcock film. It certainly isn’t his best but it also isn’t his worst.
This and Young & Innocent makes a good double feature.
This is my favourite version of the story. Get a group of friends and give it a shot
Man falsely accused, check. On the run, check. Spy ring, check. Scenes on a train, check. Hitchcock blonde, check. The blueprint 4all2 come.
It was released in 1939 a classic movie about a man on the run from spies brilliant cinematography and dir by the great Alfred Hitchcock
Not a scary Hitchcock but fun and excellently made
Below average for Hitchcock but still very good with specific scenes sticking out as fantastic. Loved both the leads.
Aged very well! Haven't seen much Hitchcock but this makes me want to see more. Not true to the book but that doesn't matter.
