Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A real treat!
Review: This is a great film that stars Cary Grant as suave, spendthrift playboy Johnnie Aysgarth who meets and woos wealthy Lina McLaidlaw, played perfectly by Joan Fontaine. The marriage seems fine until Johnnie's somewhat cloudy past begins to surface. Lina then starts to wonder if she's actually wed a murderer. This is a wonderful film that provides an enjoyable and rewarding viewing experience. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Splendid!
Review: This is a splendid Hitchcock film. This film has great acting and tension. I am happy to say that this movie won Best Actress (Joan Fontaine) in 1941. The movie is a classic that is also a wonderful thriller. Joan Fontaine and Cary Grant are perfect for the roles. The most important part in movies is that they develope dramatic action and feelings. In this movie, it does. Go see it! You will enjoy it! ( Also the DVD needs to come out soon.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Great Movie!
Review: This is another great Hitchcock/Grant film that has been overlooked to be put into DVD format. The shot selection is outstanding as well as the plot. Cary once again shows us in this movie why he was one of the best actors Hollywood put out. This would definitly be a hit in a DVD format, don't do us Hitchcock/Grant fans an injustice by not formating this to DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The studio did it.
Review: This is one of Hitchcock's best, not because of what you see on the screen, but because of what he intended you to see. The ending of this movie is not his; don't blame him because it is abrupt or pat. Watch this movie for what it was: a thriller that defied conventions of stardom and played with the leading man image, not the comfortably safe mess the studio made of it when Hitchcock went back to England. This is my favorite Hitchcock movie because of what it was supposed to be. Please keep the studio's butchering in mind when you watch it and think only of Hitchcock's wonderful finale that we will never get to see.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Why Did Fontaine Win An Oscar For This?
Review: Without any doubt in my mind definitely one of Hitchcock's lesser efforts. It's a very slow paced suspsense thriller,which lacks the wit and "excitment" of other Hitchcock films such as "Rear Window","North by Northwest",and "The Birds". I'm shocked to say very weak performances by two of hollywood's biggest stars(well,at one time anyway)Grant and Fontaine! And Hitchcock's directing isn't up to the usual hugh standard I expect from him. I really can't understand how other reviews can say so many good things about this film. I'm a big Hitchcock fan myself,but I chose to forget I every saw this film in the first place,and just remember Hitchcock for his several other great films. ONLY watch this if you want to see every single Hitchcock film ever made,or just bored. But stay away from this! Go watch "Spellbound","Vertigo",or "The 39 Steps" instead. Trust me,your better off!
