The medium Madam Blanche Tyler is engaged by the elderly millionaire Julia Rainbird who believes she is a spiritualist. After a séance, Blanche discovers that Julia is tormented by her past, when she forced her sister and unmarried mother Harriet to deliver her baby for adoption to avoid a family scandal. Julia promises the small fortune of ten thousand-dollars to Blanche if she finds her nephew and heir of her fortune using her physic powers. Blanche and her boyfriend George Lumley, who is an unemployed actor working as cab driver, investigate the whereabouts of Julia's nephew. Meanwhile, the greedy jeweler Arthur Adamson kidnaps wealthy people with his girlfriend Fran and requests diamonds for the ransom. When George's investigations conclude that Arthur Adamson might be the heir of Julia Rainbird, the reckless Blanche gets in trouble with the kidnappers.
Leave your thoughts about Family Plot.
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanOnce you tap into the film's gentle satire of its characters and genre, its strengths become apparent. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyA rolling boil of sex and violence beneath the bland surfaces of suburban placidity. |
| NewsweekKatrine AmesEverything's laid out for us and made clear, we understand the situation we can see where events are leading... and then, in the last 30 minutes, he springs one concealed trap after another, allowing his story to fold in upon itself, to twist and turn, and scare and amuse us with its clockwork irony. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's not exactly top-tier Hitchcock, but it features enough good stuff to make it at least worth one viewing. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn Alfred Hitchcock thriller with many interesting things happening in the movie's small places |
| The New York Review of BooksMichael WoodThe best movie Hitchcock has made since North by Northwest. |

| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterWhile it's certainly not up to the standard of Hitchcock's great films, Family Plot is still good fun. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyA witty, relaxed lark. It's a movie to raise your spirits even as it dabbles in phony ones. |
| IndieWireOliver LyttletonIt’s enjoyable enough, and the acting is comparatively looser than most of what comes before it thanks to the allowed improvisations on set, a first for the director |
