Critic Reviews

Robin Clifford, Reeling Reviews
"The Honey Pot" is a bright, Technicolor extravaganza that combines good acting, a clever, complex plot, solid direction and outstanding production.
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
This is really a stage production that doesn't work that well as a movie.
