1950, NR, 125 min. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring Marlene Dietrich, Jane Wyman, Richard Todd, Michael Wilding.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Aug. 9, 2001
This British Hitchcock film is generally regarded as one of the director's least successful films. It has a classic Hitchcock scenario in which a man is mistaken for a murderer, but the film lacks humor and suspense. Even the great cast is unable to make much headway with this torpid thriller.
