Critic Reviews
-
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Though it has Vidor's favorite theme of personal rebirth and his enduring country/city dichotomy, it lacks his usual fire.
-
Variety Staff, Variety
Picture is studded with many brilliantly human and dramatic sequences.
-
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
A gripping portrait of both idealism and its disillusionment.
-
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Sweetened with a happy ending, it's still an effective piece of work, thanks to Donat's typically sturdy performance and Vidor's powerful direction.
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
With the exception of compromised ending, King Vidor's film is a good version of Cronin's novel, well acted by Robert Donat as the doctor and the the rest of the cast, including Rosalind Russell and Rex Harrison.
