Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Intelligence applied exactly where it is most rare: in the lavish, star-studded epic.

fresh:
In the end, one should take from this picture a shaken feeling of having been through a lot of harsh and ennobling experiences.

rotten:
Watchable mainly for the sheer skill and drive of Preminger's direction, although at 220 minutes even that long outstays its welcome.
