Title: A Fun Late Night Movie
Review: I saw this movie in film school, and loved the mix of romantic comedy and suspense. While not the most memorable Hitchcock movie in terms of cinematography, plot, or acting, taken as a whole I think it's one of his most charming and funny movies.The young Robert Donat is fantastic as the accidental spychaser: as smooth and handsome as Cary Grant would be. Madeleine Carroll is fine, but lacks the appeal of other Hitchcock blondes. Lucie Mannheim as Annabella Smith is hilarious as the mystery woman.The themes of paranoia, suspicion, and the relentlessness of human nature are common to Hitchcock, but here they are spun together with frothy, witty dialog and some memorable, finely acted scenes.
