Leave your thoughts about The Human Comedy.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzOutdoes Capra in cornball melodrama, but does it well. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevySince Mickey Rooney was then at the height of his popularity, many viewers saw it as just another episode of the Andy Hardy series, but it was actually a bittersweet small-town saga, in the vein of Capra, dealing with the inevitable loss of innocence |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.Considerable talent in direction and acting, and if viewers are able to put their cynicism behind them, it is an enjoyable film. |
| User ReviewKenny VBrilliant bittersweet small-town saga with Rooney at his best. One of my all time favorites. |
| User ReviewJames HA wonderfully simple film, with genuine and sincere performances. Excellent writing and Clarence Brown's direction is right on target. Good sets, nice cinematography. A very touching, warm and wonderful film. |
| User ReviewPeter BI know this movie is slightly American war propaganda, but it is still a beautiful story with great performances. Mickey Rooney was in his twenties, yet he plays a teenager; however, he did with such a natural form, it came off wonderfully. The ending was tragic, yet at the same time inspiring and triumphant. |
| User ReviewI don't know wA wonderfully simple film, with genuine and sincere performances. Excellent writing and Clarence Brown's direction is right on target. Good sets, nice cinematography. A very touching, warm and wonderful film. |
| User ReviewJohn BA tad bit over sentimental but the picture of Ithaca, California serves as an oasis from the wars being fought elsewhere. |
| User Reviewjay nSweet, sentimental comedy/drama has a few mawkish moments but overall an affecting film. |
| User ReviewWind SWell acted and over the top sentimental. Almost comes across as propaganda for family values. Nice nonetheless and captures the innocence changed of this small town boy. |
