Critic Reviews
-
Eric Melin, Scene-Stealers.com
Rogers' mannerisms can sometimes be a little actorly, but Tight Spot is a solid drama and the chemistry between Ginger Rogers and Brian Keith is palpable.
-
Michael E. Grost, Classic Film and Television
Visually fascinating thriller.
-
Michael W. Phillips, Jr., Goatdog's Movies
Suffers from staginess, predictability, and an essentially weak heart.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Ginger Rogers should stick to Fred Astaire musicals--she was miscast as a smart talking jailbird.
