Viewing Notes
It’d been ages since I’d seen this and I felt like revisiting some of Hitchcock’s films. Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll have great chemistry and there are some excellently shot scenes that portend the greatness to come from the director.
I’m going to have to track down more films with Donat and Carroll in them; they were both excellent actors.
