Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Dave KehrThe film is the quintessence of a certain kind of 50s schlock.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonHolden and Jones are so good together that it's easy to forget they did not get along behind the scenes. ... Still, they punch across the sweeping passion of this visually dynamic CinemaScope production.
Time Out - 5/10 by Tom MilneEast meets West for some lush tripe based on a novel by Han Suyin, who had company in disliking it.
Variety - 4/10 by Variety StaffIt's an unusual picture shot against authentic Hong Kong backgrounds and offbeat in its treatment, yet as simple and moving a love story as has come along in many a moon.
User Review - 10/10 by Lisa MI love the rich backdrops & the passionate story of "forbidden" love. And that the female charecter is both Chinese & a doctor is rather progressive for 1955. This is filmmaking at it's best & I scratch my head at why this one never makes AFI's Top 100 films of all time list. If you haven't seen it, rent it immediately.
User Review - 10/10 by marylee fThought this would be slush, but enjoyed the wonderful production, great acting by Ms. Jones, and a believable and moving love story.
User Review - 10/10 by Val LSeems that most reviewers of this film are "seeing" it through the lens of contemporary times, and have panned it based on their limited perception. Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing was a big hit at a time when romance and tragedy were more acceptable together (think of South Pacific, Roman Holiday, etc. with bittersweet endings). In the 1950's, this film was highly rated and the stars, both Jennifer Jones and William Holden, were sex symbols. Scoff if you like, yet people who don't have the perspective of past eras, cannot make fair assumptions and reviews of these older films. All the people I know who lived through WWII and the Korean War absolutely enjoy this film, tears, hankies and all.
User Review - 10/10 by Laura GTHE BEST NON-CARY GRANT MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Christopher BThought this would be slush, but enjoyed the wonderful production, great acting by Ms. Jones, and a believable and moving love story.
