I just saw this video while celebrating Hitchcock's 100th birthday with my own "marathon" viewing of his work here at home. This movie started out one way (predictably), but it turned out to be very intriguing as it progressed; especially with the quasi-Titanic scene(s)! Now I need to pass it on to those friends who really DO think money buys happiness and contentment! Mary in Northville

I think I'm used to seeing Hitchcock suspense movies, not love ones. This one was still nice, but I do wish it had a different air to it. The only action is at the ending, where they must escape a sinking ship.

Well, event though it's a love story, I'll review it. Barry and Kendall make this movie very funny, the way they go around dancing and "playing" to music. Mixed with some wondeful characters, this is one Hitchcockian movie no one should miss.

This movie, apparantly loosely based on Hitchcock's marriage, was a real treat. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Joan Barry is particularly lovely, and you may wonder why she puts up with her husband's rather shabby treatment of her.
The story doesn't end happily, in fact we are back where we started, having learned nothing!

When Alfred Hithcock makes a movie, you know that it will be good. He has a knack for putting ordinary people in deadly situations. This film is no different. Meet a couple on a vacation they may end up taking the ultimate relaxing sleep- in a coffin. Rich and Strange. A film that will chill you to the bone with it's spectacular acting.

My Mother-In-Law starred as the Princess in this movie, Betty Amann. She was a wonderful actress and a loving and caring woman.
