Critic Reviews

  • Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion

    Bowdlerized or not, the aching pathos of two aging ingénues huddled over a restaurant table and pouring over their mutual fragility remains intact

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    Vacuous melodrama.

  • Dan Callahan, ToxicUniverse.com

    Vittorio De Sica's Terminal Station gets a DVD release with it's more widely known cut version, Indiscretion of an American Wife.

  • Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com

    I'd be hard-pressed to name two actors with less obvious chemistry together.

  • John A. Nesbit, Old School Reviews

    Most striking is the chemistry between the leading actors

    Most of the movie is pretty exciting, but it's pretty boring the rest of the time, so it's not that great.

  • jay n


    Muddled pointless drama with an overacting Jones and a curiously blank Clift. Heavily edited film makes little sense and offers no real involvement in it's story as it jumps without much cohesion from one point to another.
