[Harrison] knows, in fact, all the tricks to bring an audience's blood pressure to the boiling point of excitement.

Phantom Lady has more obvious affectations in style than the earlier film [Shadow of a Doubt], but maintains its suspense more evenly and more relentlessly so that there is scarcely a minute lost in which an audience can unclench its teeth.

Miss Harrison's done very well in her first start.

The first half of this striking film noir is phenomenal, but it’s not too difficult to figure out the killer even before he’s revealed at the film’s halfway point.
