"A young man finds himself on the run after being wrongly accused of starting a factory fire which took the life of his best friend. Hitchcock revisits a lot of the elements which had built up his reputation to this point and the end result is quite entertaining. However, its quasi propagandist patriotic elements and self righteousness not only feel out of place but are also annoyingly constantly highlighted and end up getting in the way of the fun."
