5 stars (Exceptional) Hitchcock at his best. The perfect blend of movie thriller ingredients. Grant, Saint and Mason were perfectly cast. A benchmark, action production for 50 years. ~enigma192.

5 stars (Exceptional) The thing that struck me this time was how incredible Ernest Lehman's script is. A classy, timeless entertainment. AND Eva Marie Saint! ~HiFi

3 stars (Good Enough) I remember being impressed when this first came out. Having now viewed it 54 years later I would now award 3 1/2 if it were possible. ~Anon

5 stars (Exceptional) Put aside the dated gender stereotypes and enjoy this film for the superb photography and settings in NYC, the 20th Century limited train to Chicago, and Mount Rushmore with scenes in a set designed to look like a Frank Llloyd Wright house. ~Haystack
