Paul Brenner, Filmcritic.com
In Four Men and a Prayer, director John Ford doesn't have one
-
Michael E. Grost, Classic Film and Television
Odd drama, with some powerful anti-war scenes attacking the arms trade.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The story is better presented than it deserves by a cast that is charming and a director who has a talent for eliciting snappy action scenes.
