- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Big, funny, tender and humane all at the same time, The Sundowners is a true 'family' film, without any of the cloying connotations of that term."
-
"Though the story builds slowly (and the first half may seem a little pokey), the characters are more red-blooded and vigorous and eccentric than in most other Zinnemann films."
-
"Zinnemann's customary care for detail pays occasional dividends, but the film goes on rather too long."
