New York Times - 6/10 by A.H. WeilerThe Light Touch, in short, may not be art but it is entertaining.
User Review - 8/10 by jay nThursday, December 23, 2010 (1951) Light Touch ADVENTURE/ THRILLER Another enjoyable Stewart Granger stars as a professional thief who manages to successfully steal an expensive painting from a vatican church. He then felt to be double crossed from the buyer who then attempts to manipulates a very young lady painter who could do duplicate original works! What I've just describe to you is only just the beginning with it's many twists and mishaps happen along the way with some ingenuity! Another thing I enjoyed about this movie as opposed to the others are that the story never lags or drags any emotional punch meaning that's all business- the movie just gets to the point! The only drawback of course like most black and white movies made during this era was the imposed 'do the right thing' type of ending! This movie is more of a 85% in terms of it's entertainment value but 80% is still a very good rating! 3 out of 4
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CWriter/director Richard Brooks is someone whom I've come to appreciate more and more over recent years. I think I initially became familiar with him over his western like "The Professionals" and "Bite the Bullet," which are both good and solid entertainment, but are not as smart or hard hitting as some of his best films like "Blackboard Jungle," "In Cold Blood," or "Brute Force." This film, "The Light Touch," was his second feature film as a director and is quite good, even if it's isn't as great as some of his classics. The story follows art thief Stewart Granger as a young innocent artist, Pier Angeli, falls in love with him, thinking he's a legitimate art dealer. Granger tried to keep Angeli out of his dirty dealings with crime figure George Sanders, but that's not how drama works. The film features a solid cast, that also includes Norman Lloyd and Mike Mazurki, and some nice on location photography, but the film is rather slow moving and Granger seems to give a rather lifeless performance. I was never all that familiar with Pier Angeli, but she is quite good in the film and reminds me of a young Ingrid Bergman. I think what this film needed was was a director like Jules Dassin to bring more of a clipped pace to this character driven crime story.
