MIXED Reviews
|
| | | "The cast reads like a programme for a Command performance... but the film proceeds at the outset to throw away most of the advantages which, in its inception, it possessed... As a piece of acting [Donat's performance] is sincere and conscientious, a virtue it shares with the film in general... [which] is embarrassed with an excess of self-consciousness." | | (Times) | | | "[Ambler, Neame and Boulting] have made the best of a protracted and repetitive story of a likeable failure." | | (Fred Majdalany, Daily Mail) | | | "Anticipatory nausea and embarrassment was what I felt as I fingered down the [cast] list...Still, [the film] is an honest and often very moving film... a worthy tribute to a man whose genius created an entertainment medium for millions." | | (Leonard Mosley, Daily Express) | | |
