As the broadcasting tycoon, Fredric March is excellent, and the scenes between him and Peck lift the picture high above the ordinary.

Fresh
A mature, fascinating and often quite tender and touching film.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Rotten
The film may seem mediocre now (it did back then), but it probably speaks volumes about the period, and Bernard Herrmann composed the score.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Relentlessly envelops every idea, obscures every issue in a smug smog of suburbinanity.
