| New Zealand HeraldPeter CalderIt may be on screen, rather than stage, but this is as good a piece of dramatic theatre as you'll see anywhere. |
| User ReviewSean CNot as good as the play but still a great movie. My opinion of this movie is high but the only problem is that I can't find it anywhere. |
| User ReviewPaul ZThough much of the cast is limited by what seems like phonetic line delivery, they---especially Maureen Stapleton---manage to give strongly felt performance typical of more prominent works by the film's director, the great Sidney Lumet, to whom this earnest picture owes a level of social realism still rare for its time in portraying the environment of a man with an emotional fixation which causes him to alienate himself from his family and arguably us. Like many of Lumet's earliest outings, it's a hard-bitten story, but in this case one that despite its low visibility remains relevant for its sympathetic take on illegals. |
