      Judith Crist New York Magazine/Vulture Hammersmith Is Out is another of those heavy-handed "the criminally insane are running the world" parables that almost comes off -- but not quite, in spite of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton giving their best performances of recent years Jan 1, 2020 Full Review Variety Staff Variety What is, apparently, an exercise in spoofery on the part of Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and the even more energetic Peter Ustinov, starts as a variation on the Faust legend but almost immediately turns into a belabored antic. Jun 3, 2008 Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times Both Bridges and Miss Taylor display a certain vulgar, ratty charm that is often funny. Rated: 3/5 May 9, 2005 Full Review Dick Lochte Los Angeles Free Press Dull, trifling, tasteless, self-consciously cute - these barely begin to describe Hammersmith's terminal weaknesses. Jan 7, 2020 Full Review TV Guide Inept Taylor-Burton vehicle is one more variation on the Faust legend, with Burton as a lunatic consigned to Ustinov's asylum. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 23, 2011 Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat Simply atrocious -- one of the very worst films ever made. Rated: 0/5 Sep 26, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

      Steve D Really unpleasant and the acting doesn't even stand out. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Audience Member great show.back when you had to think about the plot and subplots. Had humanity and vice, virtue discreetly underneath the story. Instead of in your face boring Left-wing elite drivel. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I have been dying to see this movie again, but the only place it seems to be available is on VHS tape for 50 bucks! SOMEBODY PLEASE release a DVD. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
