Metacritic reviews

This remake of the classic Hitchcock mystery is a far cry from its predecessor, lacking the style and subtle humor of the master.

Everything about the remake is inferior to the Hitchcock classic. [01 Dec 1980]

A midatlantic mish-mash with some moderately amusing moments but no cohesive style.

Comparisons are odious, but this remake of Hitchcock's thriller continually begs them by trampling heavily over its predecessor. The original anticipated, with some poignancy, a Europe at war. This version uses hindsight entirely to disadvantage.

A rather charmless remake of Hitchcock's classic 1938 comedy thriller, adding nothing of value and subtracting everything of significance. [04 Dec 2005, p.119]
