Minnelli pulls back the stinky underbelly of this Texan-hell family in all his scope splendor

Michael E. Grost, Classic Film and Television
Powerful look at male roles, showing innovative approaches to story telling.

Diana Saenger, ReviewExpress.com
A great drama enhanced by the terrific performances of Robert Mitchum, George Hamilton, George Peppard and Eleanor Parker.

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...just entertaining enough to warrant a mild recommendation.

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Along with Some Came Running, it ranks as Minnelli's finest family melodrama, lurid and flamboyant yet also deeply emotional and incisive in its critique of the patriarchal order; Robert Mitchum as the patriarch is superb.
