Its rhetoric may be laconic and folksy, but its fury and its nobility seem distilled from Shakespeare.

Great epic. Shows why Peppard rose to be a star. Also showcases how under rated Robert Mitchum has been in Hollywood.

Film Frenzy

A rich family drama anchored by Robert Mitchum's fine performance and further distinguished by superlative support, by George (two of them, actually).

Rated: 3.5/4

Maclean's Magazine

Although it is too long and there are some perplexing gaps and ambiguities in the story, this is an interesting and richly atmospheric rural drama with a Deep South locale.

Esquire Magazine

Minnelli milks every last drop of sentiment from the not-at-all distinguished script. And many drops that aren't there.

Out of the Past

it deserves more recognition for its exploration of toxic masculinity, its portrayal of a dysfunctional family, Minnelli's excellent direction and the great cast.
