| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonElaborating on the basic premise of Robert Sherwood's play, and doing a slick job of cleansing to conform to present regulations of the Hays code, this is a persuasive and compelling romantic tragedy. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherMiss Leigh shapes the role of the girl with such superb comprehension, progresses from the innocent, fragile dancer to an empty, bedizened street-walker with such surety of characterization and creates a person of such appealing naturalness that the picture gains considerable substance as a result. |

| User ReviewAli Smy darling vivien leigh, brilliant as always |
| User ReviewLawrence SA classic. This is one of Vivien Leigh's all-time best performances. It was also her favorite film that she did. The movie is heartbreaking, powerful, and just as effective now - all these years later. Watch Ms. Leigh at the height of her beauty and talent. |
