Title: Secret Agent Does The Job
Review: Hitchcock in this film examines what it is like to actually go through with the job of killing someone, as you are authorized and ordered to do. John Gielgud, from the Shakespearean stage, makes a worthy effort as does Madelline Carrol, who was in The 39 Steps as well. Peter Lorre, while a tad over-the-top and at some times irritating, is a joy to watch. The main villain is very smooth and a treat to watch as well. Comedic elements thrown in with tension and suspense makes Secret Agent a worthwhile Hitchcock film. From The Man Who Knew Too Much to The Lady Vanishes, Hitchcock could do no wrong. Secret Agent proves it.
