Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Under Mark Robson's direction, every one of the performers delivers a topnotch portrayal.
Fresh: It's corn in the grand style, much of it delivered with sweep and conviction, and the intrigues come thick and fast.
Rotten: It comes with its full quota of sex, conspiracy and violence, but the story is told in such circumspect fashion that next to nobody was offended.
Rotten: The elements and storylines that ended up watered-down are to the detriment of the film's overall effect.
Customer Reviews
Love this movie!!!
Pretty racey for back then but, beautifully done. Too bad not much has changed over the years..... People still hide, and judge.
Classic At Its Best
This movie is beautifully done. Do not let the 1957 release date fool you, this movie is still very relevant today. People are still judging and hiding who they really are to please other people. It may seem a little on the long side, running over two hours and it can seem to drag on but pay attention to every minute of this film. It is absolutely stunning and takes you back in time to classic Hollywood. Five stars is not enough.
