Nicholas Ray's direction of black-and-white CinemaScope, that freak child of the 50s, is consistently brilliant in this raw, confused masterpiece.

RTChicago ReaderOct 23, 2007

Contemplating the dangerous games men play with macho self-images, this survives as one of Ray's greatest works.

Fine thesping by Richard Burton leads a series of top performances by other members of large cast.

André Bazin

RTL'Obs (France)Dec 8, 2021

With all its faults, this disappointing film is still a beautiful piece of work, if only on account of its subject or thesis, and also because its director could not be anyone other than himself.
