4.0 out of 5 stars Suspense, Hitch Humor and a Great Cast....., April 23, 2003

This review is from: Secret Agent [VHS] (VHS Tape)

From 1936..."The Secret Agent". You'll find Hitch's unique sense of humor well intergrated with the suspense in this terrific film about espinoge at the onset of WWI. A recluctant spy is recruited to kill an enemy spy. He is given a false name and a fake wife to keep up appearances. He goes after the target, but does he have the right man? Could there be another who is the real culprit? And what a cast.. John Gielgud stars with Madeline Carroll,Robert Young and Peter Lorre as his very strange accomplice.Other notables to look for include Lilli Palmer and Michael Redgrave.

Where's Hitch.....alas, no appearance by Sir Alfred here.

A nice VHS copy by Front Row Entertainment of this aging film. It may be purchased as a single or as part of the Alfred Hitchcock 4-PK, which also includes "The Lady Vanishes", "Thirty Nine Steps" and "The Man Who Knew too Much"(the original). It's a great addition to any Hitch collection...enjoy...Laurie

1.0 out of 5 stars Hitchcock's great. Secret Agent isn't., August 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Secret Agent (1936) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Boring, tedious, occasionally hard to follow, unsuspensefull.

It get's a star because Gene or Greg Something (the guy who played "The General") was great.
