      Richard L. Coe Washington Post The Pearl is out of the ordinary and worth your while. Sep 27, 2022 Full Review Mildred Martin Philadelphia Inquirer The Pearl [is a] distinguished, haunting, visually superb dramatization of John Steinbeck's novelette, which was made by Mexican artists in Mexico. Jul 19, 2021 Full Review Kate Cameron New York Daily News The tale is told with simple effectiveness by the principal actors of the drama. Its artistry is achieved by striking photographic shots and the grouping of the characters in static attitudes, more appropriate to still photography than moving pictures. Rated: 3/4 Jul 19, 2021 Full Review Red Kann Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald) Pedro Armendariz, whose performance as the police lieutenant in The Fugitive was memorable for its incisive callousness, plays Kino and, for a second time in a somewhat different histrionic channel, again demonstrates dramatic virility and depth. Sep 27, 2022 Full Review Steve Perkins Austin American-Statesman The Pearl adds up as fairly dull movie fare, inasmuch as you’ve probably come in contact with this sort of thing before when it was done better. Sep 27, 2022 Full Review Moira Walsh America Magazine John Steinbeck's novelization of a fisherman's legend has been lovingly screened in the country of its setting with an English-speaking native cast including Pedro Armendariz and Maria Elena Marques.
