Horseplay with the corpse, and similar macabracadabra, has been a viable variety of humor in the human village since at least the Middle Ages, and few will seriously bother to accuse Hitchcock of bad taste. What he does sometimes invite in this picture is the charge of slack method. The comic pace often gets so slow that the moviegoer realizes he is, after all, at a funeral. The actors, too, sometimes behave pretty much like pallbearers, but the central idea is of such wormy charm that it takes more than an hour and a half to spoil...

Tom enjoys two parents and a granny in the first two volumes and becomes an abrupt orphan in the third. To lose one parent, as Lady Bracknell suggests in The Importance of Being Earnest, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose...
...French, Italian and American cast, and most of the parts have had to be dubbed in English. The dubbers dubbed the job. In the opening sequence, where Penelope (Silvana Mangano) holds off her importunate suitors, the synchronization of words and lip movements is particularly awry, but this should bother only the churlish few who concentrate on Silvana's lips instead of Silvana entire...
