“Que sera, sera – whatever will be, will be,” warbles Doris Day, but little does she know that a Marrakesh vacation with hubby James Stewart will lead to kidnapping, murder, and a classically nerve-shredding race with a cymbalist—under composer Bernard Herrmann’s baton—in London’s Albert Hall.
Reviews
“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
“Even in mammoth VistaVision, the old Hitchcock thriller-stuff has punch.”
– Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
