Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Agreement was tame, cautious stuff even back then.
By dispassionate critical standards, Gentleman's Agreement is not a success. It is a tract rather than a play and it has the crusader's shortcomings.
The movie is as powerful today as when it captured the Best Picture Oscar a few years after Hitler's genocide ended in Europe.
It looks pretty timorous now.
