      Frances H A terrific cast of top stars and at least 2 Academy Award winners. Lus gorgeous sets and a wonderfully clever plot that keeps surpristing you makes for great entertainment. I've loved this movie since I first saw it in the movie theaters in 1967. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/21 Full Review Tom M Described as a crime-comedy, it's more of a clever murder mystery. Perfect ensemble of Harrison's character's exes - Hayward, Capucine, and Adams. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/21 Full Review s r Saw it for the cast. It was intriguing at first, but then dropped into an oddity. Saw it on TCM. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Comedia clàsica, otra pelicula que pensè me iba a fascinar. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member just ok bedroom farce Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A very, very youthful Maggie Smith in a supporting actress role....as she gets swept into a "scripted murder mystery" of sorts.... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Mankiewicz develops his story with loving care, explaining each turn and twist to make everything perfectly clear. Rated: 3/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Wilfrid Sheed Esquire Magazine Harrison has reached that point in his self-creation where he can turn even a blowsy under-endowed movie like The Honey Pot to his own greater honor and glory. Feb 10, 2019 Full Review Penelope Houston The Spectator Rex Harrison and Maggie Smith take over the playing leaps to Wimbledon finalist standard. Jul 13, 2018 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews "The Honey Pot" is a bright, Technicolor extravaganza that combines good acting, a clever, complex plot, solid direction and outstanding production.
