SMH Staff Sydney Morning Herald 06/24/2022
The whole production Is full of crudities and vulgarities. Even where real humour does peep out, one has the uncomfortable feeling that the ice of propriety Is very thin, and that something questionable may develop at any moment. Go to Full Review Mordaunt Hall New York Times 07/20/2020
Those who enjoyed the play Cradle Snatchers will, in all probability, discover that the film version meets with their hearty approval. Go to Full Review Sid Silverman Variety 07/20/2020
With or without the play in mind Cradle Snatchers makes a corking program leader that guarantees laughs. Go to Full Review C.S. Sewell Moving Picture World 07/22/2020
The result should prove hilarious amusement for a great majority of patrons. Go to Full Review Laurence Reid Motion Picture News 07/22/2020
The picture is captioned with an eye upon the wise cracks, though none of them are overdone. It is moreover competently staged and as competently acted. Go to Full Review Mercury Staff The Mercury (Australia) 07/20/2020
