Critic Reviews
-
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
While the purpose may be exemplary, the method the gentlemen employ is highly dubious as a practical exposition. And once it is revealed to prove their point, it should certainly put them in a pickle for conspiring to subvert justice and fool the courts.
-
John Beifuss, Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
Says a prosecutor, during the trial: 'Beneath his intellectual and cultured exterior, he was moved by brutal impulses.' Is this also Lang's self-indictment? Or an indictment of any artist who trucks in sexual titillation and murder-as-entertainment?
-
Michael E. Grost, Classic Film and Television
Strange, complexly styled crime melodrama.
-
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
O último filme americano de Lang é também um de seus trabalhos menos interessantes visualmente, tornando-se ainda mais decepcionante em função do roteiro terrivelmente confuso em suas discussões morais.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Twisty courtroom drama about the dangers of capital punishment.
