| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA tepid and chatty psychological melodrama. |
| User ReviewAshley HHigh Wall is an interesting film. Robert Taylor and Audrey Totter gave excellent performances. The screenplay is well written and has plenty of suspense. Curtis Bernhardt did a great job directing this film. I enjoyed this film because of the mystery. High Wall is a must see. |
| User ReviewArt SGreat film noir with outstanding performances by all players. |

| User ReviewJudith HA modestly successful psychological drama cum Noir with good supporting performances, and one particularly nifty, snappy scene of a blustering attorney repeatedly misidentifying the doctor - it's the one moment when this movie hits us with snappy dialog, and it's very fun. |
