Top critics, in their words

All reviews
Rotten

Preminger doesn't direct movies as much as he makes frontal assaults on them.

Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten

All this is well mounted and lensed but sans the right dramatic flourishes to get human depth, melodramatic gusto or humane symbolism into the right focus.

Variety Staff, Variety
Rotten

The style hesitates between no-stops melodrama and glacial reserve without really finding a meaningful perspective on the action.

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh

It succeeds, among other things, in making human entertainment out of a rather unlikely story.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

The script is little but a series of smart aleck exchanges/platitudes.
