Surprisingly hilarious, well written story. ❤️
Classic pre-Hollywood Hitchcock. Very entertaining. Why do trains and movies go so well together? Margaret Lockwood's a babe.
Well written, nicely acted, evenly paced, the action is decent, the thrills are good, the mystery is clever, this is such a good movie.
Like most Hitchcock films it’s very well balanced, entertaining, and well directed.
Fantastic thriller, possibly ahead of its time, definitely holds up
A whole lotta thrillers take liberally from this one. Worth your time.
Manages to continue to keep things fresh by throwing twist after twist to this cool mystery.
Hitchcock's talent was so remarkable that only he could make such an exciting thriller that it's still fun and entertaining 80 years later.
This classic is way more thrilling than I expected it to be.
Mid Hitchcock with fairly forgettable story & characters.
