From the Golden age of Hitchcock, but isn’t talked about enough. The opera house scene alone feels like ten of his films in one.
While the original is superior in my opinion, this is a fantastic noise classic by Hitchcock.
Another Hitch classic worth watching if you can be patient - fantastic direction, suspense & mystery, masterful sound use + good lead acting
Maybe my favorite Hitchcock film and that’s a tough competition.
Doris Day steals the show in this sweeping remake. Good overall even if second half feels a touch long-winded and convoluted. Que sera sera.
Classic Hitchcock story-telling and a very charismatic Jimmy Stewart
A classic Hitchcock's movie, everybody should watch
Really good classic hitchcock movie. I haven’t seen the original but I liked this one.
A good addition to Hitchcock's filmography.
Hitchcock brilliantly uses Doris Day to solidify the film and lift it from an already good work of suspense to a great and memorable one.
