The Clifford Odets screenplay seems to have roused the realist in director Fritz Lang: the backwater atmosphere is as authentic as it is oppressive.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

A very Langian picture of the dangerous undercurrents in emotional relationships, excellently acted by the three principals.
Tony Rayns, Time Out
Rotten
It lacks conviction and distinction despite its hard-working principals.
A.H. Weiler, New York Times
