50
A midatlantic mish-mash with some moderately amusing moments but no cohesive style.
FULL REVIEW
50
Everything about the remake is inferior to the Hitchcock classic. [01 Dec 1980]
By Jay Scott
50
This remake of the classic Hitchcock mystery is a far cry from its predecessor, lacking the style and subtle humor of the master.
FULL REVIEW
40
A rather charmless remake of Hitchcock's classic 1938 comedy thriller, adding nothing of value and subtracting everything of significance. [04 Dec 2005, p.119]
40
Comparisons are odious, but this remake of Hitchcock's thriller continually begs them by trampling heavily over its predecessor. The original anticipated, with some poignancy, a Europe at war. This version uses hindsight entirely to disadvantage.
