I confess I cried a bit towards the end
By Sanjeev , 07 Feb 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
At first this seems slow-moving for today's tastes. But, after a while, I found myself very attached to the characters and moved by the emotional content of the film.- Was this review helpful to you?

(9)I CONFESS
By a customer from London , 26 Aug 2010This has long been one of my favourite Hitchcocks.
The memorable setting is Quebec and the black and white photography is superb. Montgomery Clift's febrile performance as a priest is matched by Anne Baxter's strong portrayal as his lover. Supporting actors Karl Malden and Brian Aherne are also fine. The tension is sustained brilliantly and the music also makes a haunting contribution. I find it wears exceptionally well on several viewings. Hitchcock strides across the picture in the opening sequence, his paunch seen in profile!- Was this review helpful to you?

excellent drama on a test of character
By a customer from North of Reading , 28 Jan 2009A priest hears a confession to a murder but is bound not to speak of it even when the murder investigation starts to point at him. Hitchcock superbly ratchets up the tension and Montgomery Clift is superb.- Was this review helpful to you?

Catholic guilt Hitchcock style
By Michael Pattison from Gateshead, England , 03 Sep 2007Finely characterised, superbly constructed, well acted. Only the final quarter lets it down - there's something about court cases which seems to zap all pace, momentum and credibility out of a narrative, and this one injects a certain cheapness to the proceedings. It tends to make a film out of nothing, really, complicating an otherwise surefire tragedy (nobody doubts that Clift would have let himself be hanged in order to maintain his Catholic professionalism) with the introduction of a witness, one who happens to be in the thick of it because she is also a love interest, and whose revelation midway through makes the seriousness and intimacy of the script all the more dramatic.- Was this review helpful to you?

That's Montgomery Clift, honey
By Jelly (16 reviews) from Glasgow , 11 Feb 2007I gave this 5 stars. All of them are for the beautiful and mesmerising screen presence that is Montgomery Clift.
I'm sure the film had lots of things going for it but to be honest I only had eyes for Monty.- Was this review helpful to you?
