Michael Speiser This movie is great. I'm probably not surprising anyone who's seen the name Alfred Hitchcock before. Even then, I was surprised at how much I loved this movie. It has to be one of the most well written movies I've seen, it blows modern movie writing out of the water. It's an interesting and fast paced plot that has plenty of turns, but is never anywhere near convoluted or distracting. It's got pretty much everything you could want from an action movie, and then some. Cary Grant is entertaining as ever, and fills his role perfectly. There's not much more I can say about this movie without giving away the plot, but it's hard to think of anyone who wouldn't like this movie.
mattkerr-73017 While it doesn't quite reach Rear Window/Vertigo levels of greatness, there is still plenty to be enjoyed from this one. Its definitely more on the comedic side than most of Hitchcock's work, including some great dialogue, a hilarious auction scene and my soft spot for unwilling protagonists. Add a couple of the most thrilling and iconic sequences in cinema at the middle and end of the film respectively and I'd say its a solid 9/10.Viewed 25/05/2018
livinglifing Why do old movies need to be automatically classic just because they are old? This movie is horrible...period. The acting is bad...the story is unbelievable, in the literal sense...the production value weak. Hitchcock and Grant are given much too much credit...both are sub-par entertainers. A critics movie for sure and a waste of time for anyone under 50...
gea-79784 Cary Grant shines in his part as Roger Thornhill as he get mistaken for a government spy by the name of George Kaplan. Thornhill is a very interesting character as he tries to make sense of what the says do and are up too. The film is very exciting with thrills from beginning to end. Alfred Hitchcock knocked it out of the park with this film. The scenes when they were in the cars at times were quite funny though, because they were so clearly sitting in a non-moving car with green screens around them. Other then that the film is brilliantly made, and this film was one of my favorites I have seen all year
