	Author	Review
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"[It] is Elia Kazan's most romantic movie. It may also be his worst, in cinematic terms"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It isn't successful, particularly not on Kazan's terms (...) But it does draw nourishment from the remarkable performances of Kirk Douglas and Faye Dunaway (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	IndieWire	"[A] misguided attempt to groove along with shifting times [Kazan] never quite understood"	NEG
United Kingdom	Geoff Andrew Time Out	"It all seems very forced in Kazan's case, where it isn't simply glib and indulgent"	NEG
United Kingdom	Sue Heal Radio Times	"A rather distasteful film (...) A starry cast (...) struggles with a rather old-fashioned premise (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
