- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The plot here is so melodramatic and so unrealistic that the film becomes laughable."
-
"Without a single redeeming quality, part played by Stephen Boyd is unsympathetic virtually from opening shots."
-
"A piece of expensive claptrap, loaded with harrowing cliches."
-
"Tacky Tinseltown soaper, logging the unscrupulous rise to stardom of an Academy-nominated actor in a succession of flashbacks, featuring numerous stellar walk-ons and dreadful dialogue."
