The camera style owes something to Murnau, but the sense of space -- the vast environments that define and attack his protagonists -- is Vidor's own.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
A drab actionless story of ungodly length and apparently telling nothing.
Variety Staff, Variety
Fresh
Throughout this subject Mr. Vidor shrewdly avoids the stereotyped conception of setting forth scenes, and in more than one case he uses his camera in an inspired fashion.
Mordaunt Hall, New York Times
Fresh
The performances are absolutely flawless, and astonishing location work in the busy New York streets (including a giddy tour of Coney Island on a blind date) lends a gritty ring of truth to his intensely human odyssey.
