A superb dramatization of early Cold War cultural tensions. An innocent middle class American family -- Dr. James Stewart, Singer/Housewife Doris Day and son Joey-- are caught up in a Communist plot. All three rise to the occasion to save Joey and advance World Peace via heroic maneuvers through a set of multiple plot twists, climaxes and heroics to rival those of the other supreme Hitchcock entertainment, NORTH BY NORTHWEST. (The scene at Albert Hall us as excuting snd iriginsl a set piece as the Cirnfield areal attack in NxNW.). Historically resonant and wittiy as well as elaborately thrillng.
