As the broadcasting tycoon, Fredric March is excellent, and the scenes between him and Peck lift the picture high above the ordinary.
Relentlessly envelops every idea, obscures every issue in a smug smog of suburbinanity.
Bosley Crowther
A mature, fascinating and often quite tender and touching film.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The film may seem mediocre now (it did back then), but it probably speaks volumes about the period, and Bernard Herrmann composed the score.
