A poisonous political process from our not-so-distant past dominates Robert Rossen's classic film about the rise of a Southern demagogue.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Fresh
It is a film that vividly impresses, with dramatic sureness the chicanery of politics as have been practiced in the past and may crop up again.
William Brogdon, Variety
Fresh
A fine adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer novel.
Tom Milne, Time Out
Rotten
Today, its realism seems bland, its moralizing forced.
