- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A film noir shot in dazzling color, a Hitchcock movie with the soul of a Jean Renoir drama."
-
"Try to view this tale of a siren's song as something chewier than a cover version of Hitch's greatest hits, and what's left is a facile take on l'amour fou."
-
"One of the director's weakest films."
-
"It defies easy definition and blithely triumphs over what initially appears to be structural schizophrenia. It is the creation of a superior moviemaker who works eccentrically in the classical tradition."
