| Slant MagazineChris BarsantiHuch of what's on display here evokes a society on the decline. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe screen version is still a play, but it's aturning point in the movie career of Humphrey Bogart, who had played the gangster's role on stage and then in a TV version with his wife (in Bette davis role) |
| Brooklyn MagazineHenry StewartDarker looks have never been cast on celluloid. |
| User ReviewDenny OAn adaptation worthy of all the praise it's Broadway predecessor received. Bogart and Howard were at the top of their game. A great literary work, both literary and cinematically. |
| User ReviewJonathan DTerrific performance and an intelligent script in this compelling thriller. |
| User ReviewThomas BAn excellent movie. Great ensemble cast with Leslie Howard as the wondering tramp and Humphrey Bogart as a hardened criminal. Each character's story is wonderfully portrayed through a great script. Definitely a bittersweet ending but worth the watch all the way. |
| User ReviewStan DThis is the movie that made Bogart a star. A gripping drama set in Arizona near the Petrified Forest national park, this great movie stars a young Bogart at his best as the evil gangster, and an even younger looking (and quite attractive) Bette Davis, who falls for the starry-eyed philosopher/drifter, Leslie Howard. This is a must-see classic from the early days of movies. |
| User ReviewRazvan Florentin PA frightening movie full of drama, mystery and desperation. It shows unhappy people who want to do the best for themselves, some complain about it reasonably, at the end life seems too insignificant. The perfect analysis of the hidden personality of the characters is so well depicted, and the simplicity suddenly seems complex because of the originality of the story. A unique movie. |

| User ReviewGarrett CIncredible writing and astounding performances. A thoroughly gripping film. |
