Critic Reviews
-
Variety Staff, Variety
Stanley Kramer's film contains a lot of physical and logistical nonsense.
-
, Time Out
With a lame script and the leaden hand of Kramer's direction, it blows most of its chances.
-
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Stanley Kramer was obviously trying for a message with this film, but it got lost within the intricate plot twists.
