It is an entrancing picture, wholesome and beautiful, deliberate but compelling, a feat of motion picture art which has never been equaled and one which itself will enthrall persons time and again.
Mordaunt Hall, New York Times

Walsh's dynamism is evident in every frame of this deftly Americanized fantasy, beautifully designed by William Cameron Menzies.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh
Korda's version of 1940 has the quirks and the luscious colour, but this one has the electric energy.
Geoff Brown, Time Out
Rotten
It is like reading the Arabian Nights at one sitting, with only six minutes allowed to stretch the limbs and get the contrast of a workaday world.
