Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyJust as disappointing as the other John O'Hara novel made into a movie that year, Butterfield 8 with Liz Taylor, but without that film's melodramatic juice, though Paul Newman is well cast as the ambitious, upwardly mobile man in moral crisis.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffFrom The Terrace builds up to one big cliche.
The Retro Set - 8/10 by Nathanael HoodScintillates and wounds with the scale and ambition of a CinemaScope epic and the intimacy of an old school Hollywood weepie.
Creative Loafing - 6/10 by Matt BrunsonSatisfying in many regards, this handsome soaper is nevertheless undermined by a script (by Ernest Lehman, no less) that doesn't flow as much as stumble forward.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumA tolerable (if interminable) piece of mediocrity from 1960.
The Spectator - 6/10 by Isabel QuiglyFew novelists film as disastrously as John O'Hara; From the Terrace has everything that makes for overblown filming: every giant cliche you can think of.
Film Freak Central - 3/10 by Walter ChawAn epic winker that uses, in its best moment, a rocking dinghy as a euphemism.
User Review - 10/10 by Panayiota KI thought this movie was superb and I look forward to reading the novel. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward were both equally amazing. The music score by the great Elmer Bernstein was also quite remarkable.
User Review - 10/10 by John MFrom the Terrace is an excellent film. It is about an ambitious young executive who chooses a loveless marriage and an unfulfilling personal life in exchange for a successful Wall Street career. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward give incredible performances. The screenplay is well written. Mark Robson did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. From the Terrace is a must see.
User Review - 8/10 by Andrew CNewman and Woodward are reason enough to watch this film, but the acting is top flight throughout.
