Great tension and a fantastic main character. At times it felt vaguely Hitchcockian!

A very good movie with an excellent lead character. It's not often you see a main character this demented in a non-violent film and it makes for very interesting experience. The supporting performances are pretty good too and the script has the usual Buñuel touches.

The greatest portrait of obsession; The main character, brilliantly played by Arturo de Córdova, is both a louse and an unsympathetic figure who's just merely gone off the deep end. Jealousy is taken to a whole new extreme with this masterpiece. The bell tower scene is bar none, my favorite scene of all films I've seen so far.

A tragi-comic case history with chilling and memorable details; not one of its director's great works, but an engaging minor one.

A brilliant, gripping, and darkly hilarious look at male insanity and paranoia. The main character is a demented asshole with a bit of a foot fetish and a jealous streak that would embarrass Ralph Kramden. Great ending.
