      TIME Magazine The Promoter is a sprightly spoof that gives Alec Guinness a role ideally suited to his deadpan comedy talents. Jul 17, 2014 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Neame and his players inject this with plenty of wit, distracting one from the Horatio Alger cliches. Jul 17, 2014 Full Review Variety Staff Variety The principal character in Arnold Bennett's novel The Card... provides a made-to-measure part for Alec Guinness in a capital performance. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Manny Farber The Nation The Promoter is a good example of an efficient but not very stimulating comedy that gets seen and liked because the critics admire it. Jan 7, 2021 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times It's solid stuff, but too many involved seem to be marking time. Rated: 3/5 Jul 17, 2014 Full Review TV Guide Somewhat typical Horatio Alger story made interesting by a cast of outstanding performers. Rated: 3/4 Jul 17, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member An absolute topping film, known in the UK as The Card. Its nearly forgotten...but not by me. Set in the potteries it quickly passes 90 mins of easy viewing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
