	Author	Review
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"The movie is more interesting than achieved: it's the most forthright statement of the transference theme in Hitchcock's work, but it's also the least nuanced"	NEU
United States	Bosley Crowther The New York Times	"Hitchcock's famous talent for brewing a mood of fine suspense with clever direction and cutting is spent on a nigh suspenseless script"	NEU
