Leighton Trent’s review:
I know Jaws has the title of being the first blockbuster (being a summer smash when it came out), but this film claims that title for me. It has the brains and the fun to be classified as such, and its killer climax along Mount Rushmore seals the deal. The accompanying score is tremendous. Hitchcock's most fun film.
The score is wonderful.
One of the best there is.
