Having seen it now, I realize that it is a dull and rather pathetic political thriller in which Hitchcock predictably fiddles with the clichés of the spy formula without any surprise. Full review in Spanish

It certainly deserves an honourable place among his second-division works, like Strangers on the Train.

Alas, good Hitchcock touches no longer make a good Hitchcock film, and Curtain falls, more redolent of mothballs than mystery.

What looked in its day to be a failure and a disappointment to fans of maestro Alfred Hitchcock now reveals itself to be, if not a key work, then at least the movie that contains one of Hitch's most compelling sequences.

It's extremely clear that Hitchcock didn't want to make this film, at least not the way he had to make it.
