La storia è interessante, ma l'avrei sviluppata diversamente. Infatti, il film è abbastanza ripetitivo e noioso, soprattutto verso la fine, che trovo anche insensata. Nota a favore per Charles Laughton che mi è piaciuto molto.

6 out of 35 for the 2026 Classic Film Challenge

I had the unfortunate experience of watching this on an older DVD with horrible audio quality and no subtitles. I could follow what was going on, but I would be lying if I said I understood majority or even half of what was said. The story was interesting enough. I enjoyed it but I need to watch it in higher quality before giving a definite opinion. It definitely fits in with the other British Hitchcock films.

One of Hitchcock's messiest films, I've watched. Still watchable and somewhat entertaining though.

What could have been an interesting concept is hampered but mediocre performances and inconsistent character motivations or reason.
