RTChicago ReaderOct 23, 2007

This is an extremely well constructed film, made with a balance that keeps its overflowing plot line in perfect control.

RTTime OutJun 24, 2006

Risible script based on a doorstop novel by Henry Morton Robinson, but handled by Preminger with tremendous panache; worth seeing just for the incredible skill and flair with which he stages the action and moves the camera.

RTNew York TimesMay 9, 2005

he end is a great letdown from what Mr. Preminger might have accomplished with the 1950 novel of Henry Morton Robinson. There is no strong flow of spirit through it. Even the melodrama is perfunctory and weak.

RTGone With The TwinsAug 9, 2023

The film still feels largely uneventful and unmoving; Stephen’s tale just isn’t transformative or unforgettable.
