Leave your thoughts about The Americanization of Emily.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyAnother director (not Arthur Hiller) would have been more suitable in translating to the big screen Paddy Chayefky's witty WWII serio-comedy. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzI would have appreciated the film more if it was less talky and if it didn't completely ignore the obvious that fighting madman Hitler was necessary. |
| Village VoicePeter GerstenzangGarner plays the scales of cynicism so gracefully in this anti-war gem, he makes them sound like a symphony. |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherHere is a film that not only gives the charming Miss Andrews a chance to prove herself irresistible in a straight romantic comedy but also gets off some of the wildest brashest and funniest situations and cracks at the lunacy of warfare that have popped from the screen in quite some time. |
| The DissolveGenevieve KoskiThe Americanization Of Emily is a very funny, modern-seeming film. |
| IGNPeter SchornThe Americanization of Emily is worth a look for its fine performances and dynamite writing. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThough a bit overstuffed with long-winded speeches, Chayefsky’s scabrously funny script brims with snappy, crackling dialogue. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerThough a bit overstuffed with long-winded speeches, Chayefsky's scabrously funny script brims with snappy, crackling dialogue. |
| User ReviewDavid HExcellent movie. Julie Andrews and James Garnet at their best! |
| User ReviewNick SJames Garner (who I believe is a woefully under appreciated actor) and Julie Andrews have both called this their favorite of their films. It's also likely screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky's best screenplay of his many fine scripts. Like many of Chayefsky's stories, this one is equal parts humor and cynicism. In the film, Garner is tasked by his Naval commander to film the first person killed at the invasion of Normandy, preferably a naval man in order to get good PR for additional funding for the Navy. A great film all around. |
