Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine ...the whole thing is soaked with inspirational goo, through a sort of miracle-man character who, for no apparent reason, dominates the action. Apr 20, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine Errol Flynn is dashing and romantic, Anita Louise is beautiful and vague, Sir Cedric Hardwicke is saintly and august though a trifle chilly. No one manages to be very convincing, and the film as a whole is only intermittently interesting. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
