- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Conventions of the time did not allow director Victor Fleming to examine the powerful sexual undertones of Stevenson's tale, robbing the film of much of its potential insight"
-
"MGM gave the familiar story the big-budget, big-star treatment, but in the process drained it of all of its biting social and psychological implications."
-
"Under Victor Fleming's direction, it's sober and turgid but far from unwatchable, thanks exclusively to the caliber of the performances."
-
"Well shot by Joseph Ruttenberg, and the transformations are effectively handled, but it's generally shallow and anaemic."
