What a film very well done especially the alternation in black and white.
Actors play 2 roles and they do that very well.
Story is just fine.

Good film in which a detective tries to determine the identity of a woman with amnesia. Hitchcockian in both execution and story, and it works out well here. An excellent plot with some good twists and where two stories (separated by time) are told parallel to each other.

Entertaining.
Hardly to be taken seriously, but nevertheless entertaining mix of romantic drama and thriller with Hitchcock influences. It's all rather thick and that's why it's easy to digest. We are now 30 years after the production year and the film is quite dated in certain areas, such as the soundtrack.
Anyway, Kenneth Branagh - not even a very good actor - does what he has to do just fine, and the same can be said of Emma Thompson - I like to see her busy again. Furthermore, some supporting roles for well-known heads such as Andy Garcia and Robin Williams.
Branagh is also behind the camera, but as mentioned, the film seems to be a kind of ode to the Hitchcock thrillers. Much of its own stamp is barely recognizable. Although not shot in black and white, those scenes of the Straussen are portrayed atmospherically. But in general, the end product is just a simple, easy-to-digest bite.
