A conundrum. Either a woeful train crash of a film after Hitchcock's
golden age, psychologically vapid, dreadfully acted, dull and dire;
or an illuminating peek into the real, slightly sordid Hitch, with a
star whose wooden performance cleverly parallels her character's
frigidity - Tippi Hendren is, after all, the ultimate Hitch-created
blonde, and Sean Connery's attempts to get her into bed could mirror the
director's efforts to coax a performance out of her. Probably an
unsatisfying emulsion of the two.
