Movie Reviews

Cinema Sight - 10/10 by Wesley Lovell...one of Christie's greatest works adapted into one of the screen's best films.
Times (UK) - 10/10 by Kevin Maher[Marlene Dietrich] was never better than she is here.
The Dissolve - 9/10 by Noel MurrayWitness For The Prosecution has the pace and patience of live theater, but not the look. Wilder doesn't get overly flashy with camera moves and angles, but he does shift positioning subtly and effectively.
The Spectator - 9/10 by Isabel QuiglyThe whole film is so indubit- ably, exuberantly recommendable (for aunts. grandparents, grandchildren, highbrows, low- brows, husbands, wives, and almost anyone else you can think of at any end of the scale.
New York Times - 9/10 by Bosley CrowtherAnd the air in the courtroom fairly crackles with emotional electricity, until that staggering surprise in the last reel.
Apollo Guide - 9/10 by Ryan CracknellIt's got enough unpredictable twists of its own to satisfy even Judge Judy's appetite for justice.
Nitrate Online - 9/10 by Dan LybargerMarlene Dietrich, Billy Wilder, Agatha Christie: What's not to like?
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 9/10 by Ken HankeEvery time the story strays from Sir Wilfrid, the interest level goes down a notch. Fortunately for the viewer, it doesn't get away from him very long at any point.
Apollo Guide - 8/10 by Dan JardineA slew of terrific performances help to elevate Wilder's twist-ridden courtroom drama above your standard fare in the genre.
Matt's Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Matthew PejkovicAn exciting court room romp that engrosses the viewer with its high melodrama and dialogue driven scenes.
