      ashley h The Story on Page One is a disappointing film. It is about an adulterous pair who is charged with murder. Rita Hayworth and Gig Young give horrible performances. The script is badly written. Clifford Odets did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

      Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine This tough and honest film was written and directed by Clifford Odets. Especially notable is its swift but unhurried cross-cutting from face to face during the climactic moments... Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Dwight MacDonald Esquire Magazine I never overestimated Mr. Odets, not even in the Thirties when he was the Paddy Chayefsky of the Left. Now he is on the little-man-what-now kick and the results are even more painful. Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews An above par courtroom drama. Rated: B- Sep 11, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
