“Let us love Hitchcock when, weary of passing simply for a master of taut style, he takes us the longest way round.” —Jean-Luc Godard, Cahiers du Cinéma

“Alfred Hitchcock has shamelessly reverted to an old story and to the cinematic style that made him famous in the Thirties with his new film… It shouldn't distress his ardent public to learn that he has cleverly combined his old style and modern screen processes of VistaVision and color in his new picture.” —Bosley Crowther, New York Times (May 17, 1956)

“Hitch's remake of his own film results in an equally compelling action thriller with sterling performances from Stewart and Day.” —Kim Newman, Empire
